Hello C3 Families!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
I hope you all had a great weekend! October is coming to a close and we have a busy week! Please be sure to read all updates below.
Halloween Fun TIME CHANGED!
We will be having some fun Halloween activities on Friday 10/30 from 11:00-12:30. Please note the time changed due to the adjusted recess and lunch schedule for the parade. Thank you Melissa for organizing! If you did not see Melissa's email, here is the link to sign up to run a center if you would like to help: signups.
Halloween Parade
The Halloween Parade will be at 9:40.
Red Ribbon Week:
We will be doing some activities in class for Red Ribbon Week. Wear red on Wednesday!
Tuesday Envelope: Every Tuesday, your child will come home with an envelope of finished work, graded quizzes and tests and announcements. This week, they will come home with their graded Topic B math quiz and Math Review quizzes 1.1 and 1.2 (scores combined). Please be sure to sign your student's quizzes and review the content with them. Yellow envelopes need to be returned on Thursdays.
October Book Review Due on Friday:
Please send your student with their October Book Review by Friday. I will be placing the November Book Review in Yellow Envelopes next week. If your student lost theirs, please have them let me know so I can give them an extra copy. I will remind them in class.
OUR WEEK AT A GLANCE
ELA: This week, we will continue Benchmark Unit 4 "Understanding Different Points of View." This unit explores the essential question, "What do we learn when we look at the world through the eyes of others?" In this unit, students will read and compare the points of view in different selections and analyze how point of view affects a story. This week, we will be reading "Quiet!" and "Balto, a Heroic Dog."
Writing: This week, we will continue a writing assignment based on a text we read a couple of weeks ago, "The Gnat and the Lion." Students will work on including dialogue in their writing by crafting a Narrative entitled, "A Conversation with the Gnat."
Math: This week, we will work on Module 2, Topic C. In topic C, students divide two- and three-digit numbers by one-digit numbers. This topic is a bit longer, so we will have our quiz next week instead of this week. Students will take a math review quiz on Friday.
Homework: Homework includes Math Apply Book pages, cursive, daily math review and 20 minutes of reading. Please refer to the Homework page on my website to view the schedule. Checking your student’s communicator is the best way to stay updated on homework. I try to stick to the homework listed on the website, but sometimes plans change and the communicator will have the most updated information.
*No Daily Math this week
REMINDERS
Please take care of all folders that come home, they need to last the whole year!
Please check and sign your student’s communicator daily
Wear red on Wednesday
House colors on Thursdays
Looking forward to another great week!
Thank you!
