October 1st
The month of October is fun and full of many spooky surprises.

Reading: As a class read we have completed the book All About Sam.  Students have taken an Accelerated Reading test and are now reading Georges Marvelous Medicine. The Harcourt series story for this week is called Turtle Bay. Our spelling words go with the story as well as grammar and vocabulary.

Math:  Our class is learning to tell time.  Students will work on elapsed time. Please practice with your student on this concept. Our students have also been practicing the concepts on our Math Wall in the classroom.

Computers: Students are learning the keyboard and practicing typing letters. Students can practice this at home keeping their hands on the keys on the keyboard.

Writing: We will begin working on a creative story that students will write a rough draft and then work on a final draft. We will share this story with the class at the end of the month at a Halloween activity.
Science: Students did a great job on learning about heat. Next we will start our fun unit on the Moon. Students will be learning the different phases of the moon.
