WHAT WE ARE LEARNING
In Math, we kicked off division and explored its connection to multiplication. Students learned how multiplication and division are related and practiced creating spooky fact families! Ask your child about our fun popsicle stick activity and how it helped us see the connection between these two operations.
In Phonics, we practiced reading, writing and spelling words with ir, er, or, ur, and ar. We also continued writing detailed third-grade sentences with proper punctuation.
After reading "Enemy Pie" by Derek Munson, students created their own Friendship or Enemy Pie recipes using fun, silly ingredients!
In Social Studies, we finished our books about landforms and bodies of water. Students also chose and researched a famous landform and created informational posters.
Our three butterflies finally emerged from their chrysalises last Friday while students were out of school! I released them over the long weekend. Check out the pictures below.
Don't forget to take a peek at our October Photos! You will find some beautiful fall pictures of your child.

We’re so excited to see if we can collect postcards from ALL 50 states! If you have friends or family who live in another state, please share our fun challenge with them! We’d love your help making this happen!
Starting October 1, students will have two homework options to choose from throughout the month.
The first is our October Homework BINGO, where students can choose 10 or more activities to complete.
The second is the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Reading Calendar, which encourages students to read for at least 20 minutes a night on 20 of the 31 days in October. Students who complete the reading goal can turn in their calendar at the end of the month to receive a certificate for a free Personal Pan Pizza from Pizza Hut!
KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR BOTH HANDOUTS IN YOUR CHILD'S DAILY FOLDER! Both assignments are due Monday, November 2, 2026. Completing one or both of these homework assignments is strongly encouraged, but not required.
