*Happy Fall!*
*Starting this week is Spelling Homework. On Monday, students will receive their spelling list as well as a Spelling Tic Tac Toe. Students will have activities to choose from to practice their words three nights this week. New activities are shared each week to work on spelling words. If you find an activity that works well for your child but isn't on that week's list, Please do it!! We will also practice these words in class this week. On Friday, we will have a spelling check-in.
*In math we will finish up Unit 1. On Tuesday we will assess students learning through a unit assessment. Assessments will come home with parents to view and should be returned to school to use for future instruction and grading purposes.
*In Daily Five, we continue to practice Read to Self, Read to Someone and Work on Writing. We will introduce Work on Words this week. Students will learn strategies to practice their spelling words at school. The class is excited to share they've made it past the 15 minute mark in Read to Self. We will begin reading groups this week during Read to Self.
*On Wednesday, we will travel to the Day School to attend the Living Lab. Our lessons for the day will go hand in hand with our science unit on plants and animals. We will be at the Day School from 12:45-2:15. We will have recess/lunch early from 11:55-12:40 to accommodate this change in schedule. Please dress for the weather as we may be outside for a portion of our trip!
*If you are hoping to volunteer in our classroom, at class parties or on field trips this year, please fill out a CORI form in the main office as soon as possible. CORI Forms need to be submitted each year. The wait time for approval is currently about 3 weeks.
*We will travel to the Cameron Senior Center on Tuesday, October 4th (9:30-11am) to visit the Westford Food Pantry. Our class will join Mrs. Mannone & Mrs. Siano's classes to survey the food pantry shelves. Students will write list of food and supplies the food pantry needs. A master list will be used to ask our school community to donate food and supplies. Please return permission slips to school. I will be in touch if you are chosen to chaperone the trip.
Looking Ahead:
October 10th- No School, Columbus Day
