October 26-30

This is going to be a crazy week, so buckle your seat belts and I will try my best to get something taught!  Here is what we will be working on in English:
  • phonics: nouns - singular, plural, common, proper, personal, possessive, indefinite, collective, irregular, and reflexive (who knew there were so many different kinds of nouns!)
  • phonics assessment - short and long vowels and phonetic skills 1 & 2
  • writing - they didn't do well on the writing assessment last week so we are going to practice some more.  We will be writing about games this week and going through the entire process again.  
  • reading: identifying the main topic of a text
  • reading: understanding the steps in a process
  • reading: using text features (captions) to locate facts and information
  • reading: ask and answer questions to demonstrate understanding
  • power hour: continuing to practice reading, spelling, and comprehension

Tuesday we will be going on a field trip to the Ellen Eccles theater.  We will be seeing Julie Fowlis perform Gaelic music.  The buses will leave school at 12:10 PM and return at 2:30.

This is also Red Ribbon Week.  Here is the schedule of activities for the week:
Monday - Wear your craziest socks to "Sock it to drugs!"
Tuesday - "Hats off to giving drugs the boot!" so wear hats and boots today.
Wednesday - "Staying healthy and doing drugs don't match" so be mismatched today.
Thursday - "Follow your dreams" and wear pajamas today.
Friday - "Scare out drugs!" by wearing your Halloween costume today.


The Halloween parade will be on Friday morning at 8:20.  Parents are welcome to attend.  There will be seating in the gym.  There are a few rules to  ensure that everyone has a good time: please, no masks, no weapons (real or fake), no gore, and minimal face paint.  Students may wear their costumes during the parade, but they will need to change into regular clothes afterwards.
