Week of October 9^th-12^th  

Our Reading story for the week is “Dig, Dig, Digging!”. Our question of the week is: How do machines help people work? The Amazing Words for this story are: scooping, squelching, spinning, swooshing, gobbling, rumbling. The high frequency words are: a, to. The text based comprehension skill is classifying and categorizing. We will listen for /t/ spelled Tt at the beginning or end of a word. We will focus on the correct formation of Tt. Please practice reading the “Tam!” decodable story. *Each decodable story can be recorded for the monthly Reading Logs. J

In Math, we will begin Unit 6, Sorting and Classifying 2-D and 3-D shapes. Please see the Home School Connection letter sent in the folder today.

In Science, we will continue discussing the seasons and focusing in on changes in Fall. In Social Studies, we will learn about Fire Safety.

The FIELD TRIP to Rohrbach’s Farm has been cancelled due to the wet weather. More information about rescheduling or planning a field trip later in the year will come home soon.

There will be a brief Fall Festival planning meeting on Monday, October 15th at 5:00.  Anyone who plans on attending should meet in front of the school store.
