Thank You for meeting with me during Parent Teacher conferences!  It was wonderful to be able to share your child's progress and hopefully I answered some questions you may have had.  

Math
We will continue working with Mental Addition this week.  We'll Look for patterns to solve problems, review, take a chapter test on Friday.  Our next chapter will focus on Mental Subtraction.  

Fast Facts will be a review this week of doubles, near doubles, 2s, 3s. and 4s. 

Reading
As we continue working with our text, Owen and Mzee, we'll work on summarizing this week.  Please remember to return October reading logs by Wednesday, Nov. 5.  Our class voted to have lunch in the room as their reward this month!

Science
We are focusing on the Essential Question, What are Rocks, Sand, and Soil?  We have done investigations observing weathering, comparing the physical properties of minerals, and this week we'll learn about the many different types of soils.  


 Halloween Fun


Thank you to Mrs. Harvat for planning a great Halloween party for us!  The kids decorated pumpkin buckets, played games, and had yummy treats! Thanks to Mrs. Doudourekas, Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Urias, and Mrs. Jonauskas for helping with games and refreshments.  Thanks also to Mrs. Barowski, Mrs. Mesker, Mrs. Bende, and Mrs. Butterfield for sending in juice and paper goods, and treats. Arianna brought in fun goody bags for the whole class!  We had a great afternoon!

Enjoy the long weekend!
