Welcome Ms. Hernandez!  Carol Hernandez, attending Lewis University, began working with us this week.  She will be observing and working with our students during the next 8 weeks.  She is excited about getting to know the kids and we're glad to have her!

Reading - We will be doing a reading/writing workshop this week and focus on writing an opinion paragraph. Students will learn to state their opinion, find reasons that support it, and write a concluding statement.  We will work on editing and use strong adjectives in our writing.

Reading logs - The class voted to have a pajama day as a reward for October reading. Please encourage your child to read for 20 minutes each night and fill in their reading log.

Math - We'll continue working on addition and subtraction strategies this week.  We'll discuss how addition and subtraction are related, we'll practice subtraction facts, and use 10 to subtract.  We'll end the week by using equations to represent problems.
