On Monday Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, we will be taking our assessment for our 1st two themes in our Harcourt Reading series. Some of the skills we have learned are: short a, short i and short o words, words with -all, plural words, naming and telling parts of a sentence (old school: subject and predicate), story elements: characters, setting, beginning, middle and end and contractions: did not to didn’t, etc.
In Math we are starting with geometry. We will be discussing shapes and how they relate to each other (1 hexagon = 2 trapezoids = 3 rhombuses = 6 triangles). We will continue with story problems (Mrs. Ostheimer said Mr. Ostheimer has to eat 9 vegetables. Some have to be peas and some carrots. How many of each does Mr. Ostheimer have to eat to equal 9 vegetables? 1 pea and 8 carrots: 1+8=9 or 2 peas and 7 carrots: 2+7=9, etc.
In Writing we will be illustrating our Fall writing: What I like to do in the Fall and we will continue to write in our journals.
In Science we will continue our Weather observations and in Social Studies we will continue to talk about rules, consequences and fairness in the classroom, the school, and society as a whole and we will have a unit on Fire Safety.
******* Wednesday is picture day. Please return the envelope that was sent home with your child even if you are not ordering pictures. This information is used to make sure that your child’s photo ends up in the proper class for the yearbook.
Thursday and Friday there is no school for children as the teachers have in-service days.

Thank you for your support.
