Happy Monday Everyone!

This week we are reading about animal habitats from our science books.  We will be reading from these chapters for two weeks, therefore, there will not be a reading test this Friday.  We will focus

on text features and comparing and contrasting.  In language we will wrap up our unit on nouns

this week with a test on Thursday.  We will have a review on Thursday and it will come home Thursday night so that you can review with your child.  Our spelling pattern this week is consonant digraphs th, sh, wh, ch, tch, and ph. The spelling test will be on Friday.

This week we are moving into Unit 3 in math, Addition and Subtraction within one hundred.  It will include making graphs, solving story problems, adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers using strategies, and representing addition and subtraction on a number line.

Friday is ILE's annual fall parade.  Information is coming home with your child today about the parade.  Please do not wear any costumes to school.  They should be brought to school and we will change into them

before the parade.  Your child should be able to put their costume on by themselves.  Please practice

this at home.  The parade will begin at 2:00 and our fall party will be immediately following.  Students may be checked out early from our classroom.  There will be a sign out sheet in my room.

Homework:

Monday:  Read a book and complete the book report sheet.  This is due by Friday. 

Tuesday: Math

Wednesday:  Wed. folders

Thursday: Math, study spelling words

Have a wonderful week!

Hello Parents!

I hope your week is off to a great start!

This week we will be giving the Quarterly Assessments for ELA,

Math, and Writing.  It is very important for your child to be

here and to be on time.  Because of the time it takes to

complete these assessments, we are moving our weekly reading

test to Monday.  Your child will still bring their book home on

Thursday to read the story.  We will still give the spelling

and phonics assessments on Friday.

Thank you to everyone who came out Friday and stood in the rain

to cheer us on during Warrior Walk!  We had a great time.  A little

rain didn't dampen their spirits or their drive to run!  Please turn

in all Warrior Walk packets by this Friday.

This week we are reading Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type.  Our spelling

words have final blends of nd, ng, nk, ft, xt, and mp.  We are continuing

to learn about nouns.  In math we are learning place value and some

measuring.

Homework:

Monday - Reading and writing sentences

Tuesday - Reading and writing sentences and math game with worksheet -

they only need to return page 51 completed

Wednesday -  Reading and Wed. folders

Thursday - Reading and writing sentences, study for spelling test

If you have not requested a Parent-Teacher conference time, I have just a

few spots open.  Please let me know if you would like a conference.

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Kane

Happy Monday Everyone!

This week we are reading the chapter on Animals from our science

book!  Our focus will be on how text features help us understand

what we are reading. Our spelling words all have consonant blends using r, l, and s.

We continue to learn about nouns in language.

In math we continue to work on adding and subtracting with larger

numbers and measuring.

Most of our caterpillars are now in a chrysalis!  We are so excited to

watch their transformation!

Don't forget this Friday is Warrior Walk!  We will be walking from 1:25-1:55.

Our class color is light blue.  We want to wear as much light blue as we

can.  However, hair color is not allowed.  Your student is bringing home a

Warrior Walk form in their Take Home folders.  This needs to be returned

those in as soon as possible.
