Dear Families,

We are looking forward to our Halloween festivities!! We hope you are able to join us for our parade at 1:15 tomorrow!! 

ELA

This week we worked on the letter sounds of u, v, w, y and z.  We practiced writing the letters, found words that begin with these letters and practiced our hand motions for each letter, too.  Our sight words were /he/ and /go/ - we are getting great at reading these words! Thanks for all of the extra practice from home - our little sight word Ninjas are moving along! Below is our sight word game for the week - see if he/she can read all of the words and tell you where the creepy carrots were hiding!

Our read aloud was Creepy Carrots by Aaron Reynolds.  We also listened to Creepy Pair of Underwear by the same author. While listening to the stories, we learned new vocabulary words, worked on the skills of predicting, retelling, stating our opinions and making connections - WOW!! 

The kids have LOVED visiting the Drama Center this week during Reading Centers...pretending to be Firefighters is SO much fun!!

In Writer's Workshop, we have been working on our Show and Tell Unit.  We are presently working on  Show and Tell books about Target and The Park!  We know the steps for writing a Show and Tell piece and we are working hard on being a BRAVE writer (that's the hardest part)! 

Math

This week we reviewed counting and making Tally Marks and we used everything we know about shapes and patterns to make this cool Veteran's Day Quilt!  Ask your child to explain the pattern to you!

*Tomorrow is our Halloween Party.  Remember to send your child's costume to school in a separate bag.  We will be changing into our costumes in the afternoon. 

*ALL are welcome to join us for our outdoor Halloween Parade at 1:15 - see the letter from the office for more details.  Don't forget to let us know if your child's after school plans will be changing.

*With colder weather approaching, please remember to label ALL outdoor gear

**Get out your poodle skirts and bobby socks!!! We will be celebrating 50 days in school on Monday November 14th - more info will be coming!

Have a Happy Halloween!!
