This Cycle

We are learning about the main idea and the details in what we read. We continue to practice telling the difference between fiction and non-fiction texts.  As we read we are learning how to ask questions to make sure we understand what we are reading.   We will study the letters Mm and Aa next cycle and learn how to spell and read the word ‘am’. In math we are practicing shapes and writing numbers correctly.

In handwriting we practiced different kinds of lines we need to write our letters; horizontal, vertical, circles, and slants. In our journals we are working on using letter sounds to write our words.  Please encourage your child to listen for at least the beginning and ending sounds in words as they write.

The children continue to LOVE the Magic Tree House chapter books we are reading during our quite time after lunch..

Halloween

We will celebrate Halloween on Wednesday, October 31^st.  The children may wear their costumes to school. We recommend simple ideas, since it will be worn all day.  Please label all the pieces of your child’s costume and/or bag so we can make sure everyone has what they need for Halloween night. When you are choosing a costume with your child, please remember that it should be appropriate for school and not scary for the other children.  If your child’s costume has a weapon of any kind, please leave it at home.  No weapons are allowed at school. Parents are welcome to come view the parade and take pictures.

Have a Wonderful Week!
