Reading
Reading logs are due on or before Thurs. Oct. 1.  Our class voted to have lunch in the room as their reward!  All students who return completed logs will be able to have lunch in the room and watch a fun movie.

Thank You for filling out the Name Jar information this week.  We had some wonderful conversations about the origin of the students' names!  Students designed their own name stamp and wrote in their journals about their names.  

This week we will read the text, Owen and Mzee.  It is a story about 2 animals that formed a bridge of friendship, that also helped them live happier lives.  Discussion will focus around author's purpose and we'll talk about using context clues to find the meaning of unknown words in a text.  

Grammar lessons will focus on plural nouns this week.    

Math  this week we will continue to work with story problems and we'll also review addition strategies.  Our unit 1 test will be on Wednesday.  Our next unit will focus on place value.  

Our second 5 minute addition and subtraction timings will take place this week.  Please encourage your child to practice thier math facts at home with one of the fact fluency apps or Xtra Math.
