Parents,
Here is a peek at what we will be working on next week:
Reading: This is a list of our new vocabulary words. Please put the list in a convenient spot and have your child read through it a couple of times each day.
almost around another food
under scurries wheel bottle
cage content follow raccoon
Our new phonics skill is the sound of er as in her, ir as in first, and ur as in turkey.
Math: We continue to work on fact families as we review our addition and subtraction facts. Several students have told me that you are helping them review with the triangular shaped flashcards which were sent home as homework. Thanks so much, and please keep up the good work
Spelling: Our new list for next week is attached to this letter.
Conferences: We have Parent-Teacher Conferences on Thursday, November 10 from 1-8 pm. Please mark your calendar. Your child’s conference schedule will be sent home soon. I look forward to meeting with you then.
Halloween: We will have our Halloween activities on Monday afternoon. At 1:00 we will parade downtown in McBain. Then we will visit the fourth grade wax museums. We will finish with snacks and a video. Please send your child’s costume in a bag with his/her name on it. Also, please remember to send in one cup of a munchie food item for our trail mix (no peanuts or peanut butter).
No School on Tuesday, November 1: This is a professional development day for teachers.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Wimmler
