What's Happening This Week?

This week we will be meeting our 7th grade buddies for the first time on Friday and making a Halloween craft with them.  This is always so fun and exciting for both grades!  Pictures will be posted.

In Language Arts, we are continuing to work on the comprehension strategy ask and answer questions.  We will learn how to correctly form letter Tt, it's sound and blending it with letters a, m, s, and p to read words.  We will also be learning about verbs-we call them action words too, but also say verbs. In Writer's Workshop we will be working on conventions of print such as when to use an uppercase letter and ending punctuation marks.  In Math, we will be comparing, ordering and counting forward with numbers to 10.  In Religion, we will discuss ways to care for God's world. Our thematic unit will focus on pumpkins this week. 

I will be sending home reminders of your conference times we have set up.

As a special request, I would like you to pray for my dear friend Sally Langenbahn, who taught kindergarten here with me for many years.  She just lost her son in law leaving behind Sally's daughter and 18 month old son.  Thank you for  thinking of them.  I know many of you know her, and for those who don't she is an amazing person with a wonderful family.
