AWARDS DAY!
Friday, November 2nd @ 11:00 AM
All students will receive at least one award




READING:
This week we will take some time off our Reader and investigate our PROVE IT method.  PROVE IT is a method that helps the children turn their "I think" responses into "I KNOW" responses.  It encourages the students to look back into the text and find where they read to find the answer.  This method is important as the students mature into skilled readers.
Review of nouns/plurals/subject/predicate/punctuation

MATH:
Monday we will take a money quiz and then move into a deeper look at two digit addition using place value blocks.  Next week we will begin to extend our two digit addition toward regrouping.  There will be only a bit of homework this week.  It will be a great week to sharpen the students' addition fact fluency.

SPELLING:
For the next five weeks we will take a break from WORDS THEIR WAY and begin to familiarize ourselves with our second grade high frequency words.  I have attached a list with the daily homework to each child's spelling notebook.  The homework will be different for the next five weeks.

SOCIAL STUDIES:  We will take a break from social studies and move into science (weather).  OH YES!  The maps were fabulous.


SCIENCE:  WEATHER!  Our in-house field trip is this Friday October 26th @ 1:45 - 2:30.  You (parents) are welcome to come.  Please no siblings.


Final Notes:
SCHOLASTIC BOOK ORDER DUE SUNDAY OCTOBER 28th.  Our class code is L3XTM.

FLAT STANLEY:
We will begin Flat Stanley next week.  Be on the look out for this book.  Every night the students will be required to read a chapter orally.
