Curriculum Updates
Writing- We wrapped up our Personal Narratives this week and the students worked so hard with their writing partners to edit and revise their writing! We will begin publishing this week.
Math- We wrapped up this week with our Unit 1 math test; please look for these coming home this week! We will then move onto Unit 2 to learn more about multiplication and division, focusing on our 6's. We will also practice solving area word problems.
Science- Animal adaptations will be our focus this week. We will explore the ways that animals adapt to best survive in their environment. Examples of animal adaptations are camouflage, sharp teeth, good hearing, claws, etc.
Reading- This week, we'll learn about making inferences. We will use our background knowledge, plus clues in our text to make inferences. We'll be reading detectives!

- Please plan on your child bringing their "school appropriate" costume to school (no blood, weapons, scary masks, etc...)
- Parade: If weather permits, we will be walking to the Laurels for our Halloween parade on the 31st. We will leave school around 1:00, walk down Park Ave. to Van Buren. We will take a right on to Van Buren down to 36th. Then will turn right on 36th Ave walking toward Curtis. Turn right onto Curtis which will take us back to school. If you are interested in attending our parade we are asking parents to line the parade route rather than going in through the Laurels with us, as there is limited space. If it does rain we will not be having an indoor parade. Teachers will have a rain plan for their individual classes.
Party: Our class party will be held from 2:40-3:40. We'll enjoy treats and fun Halloween games!
