Parent Signature

The money we are collecting is for the purpose of the current field trip referenced on this form. We have tried to estimate as close as possible the expense of the field trip. In the event that we have money left over due to expenses being less than we estimated, we will be applying these funds to our end-of- the- year activities. 

Homework Folders

Every student should be reading an AR book(s) of his/her choice weekly so he/she can meet his/her goal for the second nine weeks. AR points are earned by taking tests at school on books he/she has read on his/her level or above and earning at least 80%. Students can take AR tests on books from our classroom library, school library, public library, or books from home as long as they are AR and on or above his/her reading level. Please remember to sign your child’s AR weekly reading log located in the back of the blue daily folder.

Peek at Next Week

Reading- Our class started unit 2 week 3 last Thursday. Our class has been focusing on animals and their homes. The children will continue to learn about the different features of animal habitats. The skills for u2w3 are making predictions, main topic and key details of the story, suffixes ly, ful, and identifying common and proper nouns. The u2w3 comprehension, spelling and vocabulary assessments are scheduled for Friday, November 9^th.

Math- We will complete Chapter 3 in Go Math on Tuesday, November 6th. Our chapter 3 assessment on basic facts in addition and subtraction is scheduled for Wednesday, November 7^th. Then on Thursday, our class will begin Chapter 4. In this chapter, we will learn how to solve addition problems with 2-digit addends using different strategies. Please remember quick recall of addition/subtraction facts comes in handy for our next few math chapters. I would recommend spending 10 minutes each day doing math flashcards. 

Science/Social Studies- Continue learning about different animal habitats.
