October 3-7
We will be starting our 5^th story for Reading, Smash! Crash!   Our focus will be on the story’s character.  We will be working with the consonant letter Mm and the beginning and final sound /m/ in words.  Continue to read at home and practice the high frequency words, practice rhyming and counting syllables in words and identifying the letters from Aa-Zz.

For Math we will work with Topic 16; Analyzing, Comparing, and Composing Shapes.  Review the 2 and 3 dimensional shapes circle, square, rectangle, triangle, hexagon, cube, cylinder, cone, and sphere.   

New October “AR” Book Buddy recording sheets are enclosed in your child’s bag.  Any student who reads 15 or more books will receive a monthly treat! Congratulations to all the students who met and/or exceeded their September goal! (Don’t forget library books can also be recorded on the recording sheets.)

We are currently collecting money for the classroom parties.  Please send in $5.00 in an envelope with your child’s name and classroom and mark “Party Money” on the outside of the envelope.  Thank you!!
