October 16th

Good Evening,

What a beautiful weekend! I hope you all have enjoyed the weather and had success with your hunting endeavors! We had a great homecoming week! The kids worked really hard considering the distractions of what comes along with homecoming. This last week our reading unit was "New Places New Faces". We discussed some great vocabulary words that coincide with social studies. Words like boycott, strikes, and unions are things we will talk about in the future! We started working with multiplication and the kids are doing great! I introduced the Northeast region and we are learning the states and capitals in this area. There will be a quiz Tuesday!! We are still talking about animals and how they adapt to survive.

This week our reading is unit is "Focus on China". We will be talking about the culture in China and reading a couple different selections related to China. We will continue talking about nouns becoming a bit more specific with irregular nouns. In math we'll be working with squares and square roots, working with word problems, and more multiplication facts! The students will take their states/capitals quiz Tuesday and we will continue discussing the Northeast Region in more detail. We will have another lesson in science and then do some review for a test the following week!

Hope you are enjoying the fall weather!! Remember to keep your children on the ball with homework! The 1st quarter ends Friday!!

Ms. Knudson
