October 6^th – Oct.24^th.

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. Our class will now be reading Georges Marvelous Medicine. The Harcourt series story for this week is called Wild Shots. Our spelling words go with the story as well as grammar and vocabulary.

Math:  Our class is starting Chapter 3 studying Arrays. Please practice with your student learning to memorize their multiplication facts. Our students have also been practicing the concepts on our Math Wall in the classroom.

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.

There is a moon calendar coming home. Students will look at the moon nightly and record their findings. The moon calendar will be turned in on October 30^th.
