November Cornucopia!
Happy Friday Everyone!
What a week and a short one at that. We unexpectedly had a day off on Monday. It was a beautiful day to spend outside. Students wrapped up a math unit as well. We also finished up our biography genre study. Check out the class photos page for all the great pics from the week.
Picture Retakes
Next Friday, November 8 are picture retakes. If you want your child to retake their picture, this is the day to do it.
Brrr, It's Cold In Here!
REMINDER: The weather is getting colder by the day so please encourage your child to dress for recess appropriately. They should come with a warm jacket to go outside. Even though we all love sweatshirts, jackets are preferable. Please also send in mittens/gloves and hats as well for those extra cold days (did I just write that?!).
Just for future reference: When it starts to snow, boots will be expected to be worn for the outside recess times. Boots will NOT be encouraged in the classroom due to wet puddles. Please help remind students to bring dry shoes for the classroom. If you could please send in a pair of dry shoes to change into and keep at school, that would deeply be appreciated. And don't forget to send in gym shoes for P.E. on Mondays and Tuesdays. Thanks!
Fall Back
Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend. Fall back one hour! Have a nice weekend! :0)

Halloween Fun!
We had a super fun Halloween party and parade. The kids had great costumes.
THANK YOU to all of our parents for helping with our Halloween Party yesterday. It was such a great party and the kids loved their mad scientist stations. A special thanks to Jenn Monk Reising for planning such a cool theme!

Reading
As we wrapped up our first genre study, students focused on writing a reading letter. I will be assessing reading levels for the month of November. We will study nonfiction informational text in December!
Math
Yesterday, students took their Unit 2 Math Assessment. Most students have had a chance to either get a reteach today if they didn't get all of it correct. We will continue to work on Monday. Students are graphing their progress in their data binders. Students that are struggling with concepts will spend more time working one on one with me and this will be reflected on the report card. Please encourage students to go online to the EM website to play games, review content, look up concepts and vocabulary when needed. Thanks!
No School for Election Day
This is a friendly reminder that we have no school on Tuesday, November 5.
Don't forget to change your clocks this weekend. Fall back one hour! Have a nice weekend! :0)
