November 1-5, 2010

Happy Halloween! Hope you are all having a great weekend with your little ones on one of their favorite days. THANK YOU to all who were able to help with our class party. What a success! Everything ran smooth and students had a great time. Hopefully the kids won't be too hyped up on candy Monday morning!

On Monday a new reading log for November will go home as well as the homework packet for Dancing Rainbows. Attached will be a multiplication facts packet to practice as well. We had our 3s, 4s, and 5,s quiz on Friday, so those will go home sometime this week for your review. Our trimester is coming to an end soon and it is really important for every 3rd grader to have these facts down. We just finished Chapter 5 and will begin Chapter 6 in Houghton Mifflin Math. I will give a unit test on Chapters 5-7 (multiplication through the 10s) in a couple of weeks. We will continue to work on borrowing as well as it can be tricky for many kids.

Lit Circles are due Wednesday. Be sure your child has the completed job and book by Wednesday. I may adjust a couple of groups depending on your child's reading level. Every student took a STAR reading test in the computer lab last week, and I will compare their level to what was scored in late August.

This Thursday we have a field trip to the Aptos History Museum. Our tour begins at 9:00, so we should leave by 8:45 to get their on time. We will return back to school around 10:15-10:30. We are asking for $1.00 per student to cover the cost. If you are a driver, make sure the office has all of your necessary insurance information.

Wish list: sharpened pencils, items for the prize box

Have a safe and Happy Halloween!
