Wed. Nov. 1 - October reading logs due

Reading - We will be doing a reading/writing workshop this week and focus on writing an opinion paragraph.  We'll discuss the difference between facts and opinions.  Students will learn to state their opinion, find reasons to support it, and write a concluding statement.  We'll work on editing and using strong adjectives in our writing.  

Reading logs are due on Wed. Nov. 1.  This month the students voted to have a pajama day!  Please encourage your child to read each night for 20 minutes and complete their reading log. 

Spelling test will be on Thursday, Oct. 26 ~ no school on Friday,   

Math - We will be comparing 3 digit numbers this week as well as working on strategies for problem solving.  We'll take a chapter test midweek.  Next up is 2 digit addition!  We'll be taking our 5 minute addition and subtraction tests for the month of October.  Students are graphing their scores on these 5 minute tests.  Hopefully they are seeing their numbers increase each month!  

Continue to practice math facts at home.  It will make adding large sums much easier if students know their facts by memory.  

Thank you to the Dairen Woodridge Fire Dept for coming to Ide this week.  We learned some important things to do in case of a fire in our home.  Remember to have a plan for your family in case of a fire!
