Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone has a wonderful and safe Halloween!  Stay tuned for pictures from our Halloween party!

Also- make sure you check your child's folder for their report card.  Please make sure to keep the actual report card, but send the envelope SIGNED back to school on Monday with your child.

Here's a weekly recap:

Reading:
We started Unit 2 this week (after a week of testing on our skills from Unit 1).  We read the story "Dan's Pet" and learned what the setting of a story is.  We also learned how to use "and" to combine naming parts (the subject) of a sentence.

Math:
We started Topic 2 which is ALL about subtraction.  We focused on missing parts at the beginning of the week and then started making subtraction number sentences.  We will continue Topic 2 for the next 2 weeks.

Social Studies:
We have begun to talk about Our Government and will continue learning about leaders in our community, state and country next week as well.

Writing:
We have started writing 3 sentences in our journals.  We are working on finishing a topic sentence with a prompt and writing 2 detail sentences.  We are focusing on the trait of conventions in 2nd quarter, which deals with using proper mechanics and grammar in our sentences.  We will be trying our very best to always start our sentences with a capital letter and end with a period (we may still need reminders to this ;))

Sorry I haven't updated this in a while!  I'll try to be better about it!

Have a SPOOKTACULAR weekend!
