THANK YOU to the families who donated money to purchase books from the Book Fair.  I was able to buy 10 new books for our classroom library!  We love our new books!! 

Reading logs are due on or before Mon. Oct. 2.  Our class voted to have a stuffed animal day as their reward.  All students who returned completed logs will be able to bring in a stuffed animal for the day.  Date to be decided later.

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.  

Reading - Next 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 focus will be on plural nouns.  

Math - This week we'll continue to work on place value with tens and ones.  We will find many different ways to write a 2 digit number and we'll find patterns to problem solve.  

Estimation Jar Winner - Andrea
New Student of the Week - Natalie
Positive Paw Winner - Natalie
