Update October 2nd

**THIS Tuesday, October 4th, we will be traveling to the Cameron Senior Center to inventory the Food Pantry (9:30-11am.)   Students will create a list of items the Food Pantry needs.  We will share this list with the school community at an upcoming Community Meeting.  I am still in need of one volunteer that has an approved CORI Check.

**THIS Wednesday, October 5th:

PICTURE DAY

Please remember to send your child's picture day envelope back to school.  Envelopes can be sent in any day this week until Wednesday.  Reminder-the picture company suggests not dressing your child in green as they use a green screen to project backgrounds.

**On Wednesday, we will have recess/lunch at 11:05, which is much earlier than usual.  We will do this to accommodate the 2nd graders that are going to Living Lab.  We will eat an afternoon snack at about 1pm.  Please pack a snack that will still taste yummy this late in the afternoon.

**On Friday, we will travel to Crisafulli using the Robifulli Trail to meet our 4th Grade Book Buddies.  We will team up with Mrs. Boyle's class and half of Mrs. Kost's class!  We will have a chance to meet our buddies and they will read a book to the first graders.

**Math Skills for this week:

~Adding & Subtracting within 10
-Exploring subtraction pairs of 10

*We continue to work on building the 5 components of Daily 5.  We are beginning to work in small reading groups.  Students will also learn about the computer program RAZ Kids this week to practice Listen to Reading. I will be sending log-in information home, if students would like to use Raz Kids at home to practice books at their reading level.  We suggest that students listen to the book, read the book and then take the quiz that goes along with the stories.

*In Writing, we are working on putting periods at the end of sentences.  Last week the students learned about nouns.  We will continue to talk about how sentences have nouns and tell what they're doing.  We are also writing "small moment" stories.  Small moment stories are taking a big story like going on a trip and picking one small moment from the trip to write about.  For example, the plane ride or your favorite ride at Disney.  

Looking Ahead:

*Tuesday, October 4th- Field Trip to Food Pantry
*Wednesday, October 5th- Picture Day
*Friday, October 7th- Book Buddies @ Crisafulli

*Monday, October 10th-No School-Columbus Day
