November 8, 2018

Dear Family,
Students are invited to wear red, white, and/or blue to our Veterans Day Assembly TOMORROW, Friday November 9th.

Keep sending in those canned foods to help our 4th grade stallion, Gracie meet her goal of 5,000 lbs of food for those in need.  We are collecting until Thursday, November 15th.

Please refer to my email regarding Operation Gratitude.  We will be collecting items through next Thursday.

Next Week...
Math: Students will continue with subtraction, focusing on writing number sentences and understanding the bigger number is written first. They will write subtraction sentences using various tools as models (dominoes, dice, pictures). Students will also visualize subtraction stories in their head and act out/model their thinking.

Science: Students will continue their study of physical properties of objects by observing, comparing, describing, and sorting the components of soil by size, texture and color.

Reading:  Students will learn what an inference is and begin making inferences throughout their books.  

Writing:  This is the last week of How-To writing. Students will publish and share their How-To.

Balanced Literacy: In Social Studies, we will be talking about different customs and traditions and will be presenting our timeline projects. In Phonics, we will be recognizing and reading known words and using letter-sound relationships to monitor word-solving accuracy.
