Hi!
We are SO excited about the field trip tomorrow! There's been a lot of plotting and planning about who's riding the bus and who will sit with each other, who's riding with a parent and who can ride along with them. So many details to work out! Please remember to:
In between all of the Fall fun, we still have to get in some learning!

We are SO excited about the field trip tomorrow! There's been a lot of plotting and planning about who's riding the bus and who will sit with each other, who's riding with a parent and who can ride along with them. So many details to work out! Please remember to:
- Send two snacks (morning and afternoon)
- Send a bag lunch and drink
- Have your child wear a light blue uniform shirt and khaki bottoms
Next week Thursday is our annual Fall Festival, so I'm sure the plotting and planning will include who's wearing what costume and who's going to hang out with each other :) I'm still trying to decide what I'll dress up as, but I'll be there! It's a lot of fun for everyone in the family...I hope I'll see you there!
We'd love to have your help with candy donations for Fall Festival!!!
You can send it in any time between now and Thursday, 10/27.
In between all of the Fall fun, we still have to get in some learning!
This week in...
Reading: We're continuing to work on Fix-up Strategies. This week we're talking about Rereading, Reading On, and Slowing Down. Next week we'll move on to our Elements of Literature unit.
Language: This week we're talking about Prepositions, Conjunctions, and Interjections. We'll continue working with these next week to get in some practice.
Writing: Almost all of the kids are done with their first published piece and are working on new pieces during Writing Workshop. Our writing focus has changed from Ideas to Excellent Word Choice, and in the spirit of Halloween, we talked about Dead Words (overused and boring words). Later this week we'll continue this theme with Dead Verbs!
Social Studies: We're almost finished with our NC Natives unit, and should wrap things up this week. Next week we'll talk about the history of the North Carolina colony.
Math: We've wrapped up our Place Value unit (rounding numbers was really hard for many of the kids, so practice with this skill would be great!), and will do a quick review of Adding and Subtracting up to four digit numbers. Then we'll be starting our Multiplication unit.
Bible: We're talking about what happened to the disciples after Jesus' ascension and how the Holy Spirit came to them.

They saw what looked like tongues of fire, which separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 2: 3-4
Have a wonderful week!
