Thank you for all you do to continue to support your child and our school. Below is some
information about what we are doing in our class this week! Please try to reinforce this at home
to help ensure success for your child.

Information went home today about our Boosterthon. This is our main fundraiser for
the year to support our school and our classrooms. Your child should have brought
home a brochure about the fun run. Please let me know if you did not receive one. You
can go online to register your child. I can see that several of you already have pledges!
Way to go team!! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Reading: This week in reading, we will continue learning how to think and talk about the stories
we read. We will be discussing how to retell a story including the beginning, middle, and end,
the characters, the setting, and use sequence words.
Writing: We will continue writing about Small Moments in our personal lives. Students will
learn how to plan a story and continue to write stories with a strong beginning, middle, and
end.
Math: We will continue to work on number sense and counting/ordering numbers to 100. We
will be practicing writing, recognizing, and counting numbers. We will also count by 2s, 5s, and
10s.
Content: In Science, we will continue to study the changes in Autumn. We are learning about
the lifecycles of apples and pumpkins this week as we prepare for our field trip to the pumpkin
patch on Thursday!
Questions to ask your child:
--How does a pumpkin grow?
--What makes a good retelling?
Reminders:
* Important: the word study words (green, yellow, or white list of words) that come home at
the beginning of each week are to be used for Thursday night’s homework.
* Please remember to let me know if your child needs a sack lunch from the cafeteria for our
field trip on Thursday. They can buy it Thursday morning from their account as they usually do.
* Please make sure your child brings his or her take home reading back to school each day.
Please keep it in the bag with their reading strategies and their recording sheet. They should be
bringing home just right books Monday through Thursday night. On Friday, they can choose
what they would like to read from our classroom library!
As always, if you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me or call the school at 571-2522120. Thank you again for all you do!
