Monday

There is a lot going on this week. It is Parent Teacher Conferences on Wednesday, Thursday students are to wear red for anti-drug week, Friday we can wear costumes and decorate pumpkins. Please make sure your child has a pumpkin to school by Friday morning. We started on a new story today. It was about an entrepreneur and how he stared his business. It was quite interesting. We worked on spelling and then started our new five paragraph essay, What I like (or dislike) about Halloween. Students got off to a great start on these. I know that the more we do them, the easier they will become. In math we learned that if you do doubles of the two multiplication facts, you get the answers to the four multiplication facts. It is a new strategy to help you be able to multiply. We also worked on multiplying by multiples of tens. We traced leaves and hung them around the room. Then the students finalized the plans for their Native American dioramas and projects. They will do their reports on Thursday (we hope.)
