It is an exciting and busy time in our class. We are going to spend the short week working on narrative writing . We have had a lot of practice with narrative writing, but this will be the first narrative that we will publish. I can't wait to read what the kids come up with! If you want to know how I will be grading their narratives, you can refer to the rubrics that I gave you at parent/teacher conferences.
In math we will continue with multiplication and the distributive property. We will focus on 4, 6 and 7 as factors. I would like the kids to continue with their fact fluency by using Reflex Math at home and at school. For reading this week we will start reading I Wanna Iguana. However, because of our short week, we will not have a spelling, vocabulary or comprehension test. Our test for this story will take place on Tuesday, October 25th. Looking ahead: We will begin a geography unit starting on October 24th. The Pumpkin project is due on the 25th. Please let me know if you have any questions about this project.We also have Red Ribbon Week the week of the 24th-28th. Red Ribbon Week Daily Themes: - Monday the 24th “Voting For My Future To Be Drug Free” o Wear red, white, and blue clothing - Tuesday the 25th “Too Bright For Drugs” o Wear neon clothing and/or sunglasses - Wednesday the 26th “Your Choices Are Key To Your Dreams” o Wear pajamas - Thursday the 27th “From Head to Toe, I’m Drug Free” o Wear crazy hair and crazy socks - Friday the 28th “Our School is Drug Free” o Wear your school spirit wear We will have our Halloween parade on Monday, October 31st at 8:45am. I will be sending a handout home with the kids that will give you more details about times and rules. Don't forget that this week is UEA and we do not have school Thursday or Friday! Enjoy your week! Ms. O It was wonderful to meet all of you during conferences this past week. I look forward to getting to know all of you this year. This upcoming week is going to be a busy one! We will be reviewing Unit One from Reading Street. The class will go over the spelling, vocabulary, phonics and literacy skills from the past month. Having a review week also gives us the opportunity to do a few other activities. We will be writing poems and concluding a writing activity that we started last Thursday. I have another activity that will help with the class bulletin board. The class will also be working on a couple of comprehension activities that will help the students understand their reading on a deeper and more meaningful level.
On Wednesday the class will take the Unit Two test for math. The concepts from the chapter that should be reviewed: multiplying by 0, 1, 2, 5, 9 and 10. I will also be reviewing the unit with the class. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer in the class. I have a few opportunities open. I could use volunteers in the morning 9:30-10_30 and in the afternoon 1:00-1:45. Contact me if those times will work for you. I hope you all have a wonderful week! Ms. O |
Ms. O I was born and raised in Utah. After I graduated from the University of Utah, I lived in California, Texas, Pennsylvania and Hawaii. I am happy to be back in Utah. I enjoy paddle boarding, cooking, hiking, skiing and running. I have two adorable kids who keep me pretty busy. I love Mexican food and coffee. This is my third year at Sunrise and I am so happy to be a part of the Sunrise community. Third grade is my favorite grade! Archives
