Bon Dia
Week 8, October 26, 2009

Raves:
I want to thank all of the parents who came to Parent/Teacher Conferences. Conferences are a great way to connect with each other and talk about some of the different observations we might see concerning your children. This is a great class, and I am excited for some of the cool things we will be doing in the future months. Again thank you!

Reminders:
I will be out of town on Thursday, October 29 and Friday, October 30th. I know that my students will be a big help and an attentive group to the guest teacher.
Students may wear costumes on Friday, October 30th
I will supply the guest teacher with a Halloween movie and my room moms will bring in treats for a little party at 2pm in the room.
Family Fun night and Bingo Friday.
Continue to check your child’s planner and make sure they are completing all of their work if the assignment is circled in the planner. Thank you!

Academics:
In religion we talked about the Gospel for mass on Tuesday. The students are finishing up their final drafts of their Samaritan stories and will begin to type them out in the Lab on Wednesday and Thursday.
In Math we continue to work on multiplication. Mentally multiplying/ represented multiplication, 2-digit by 1-digit and 2-digit by 2-digits... State standards 4.1D, 4.1G, 4.1C, Math multiplication quiz on Friday over factors, multiples of 1 and 2 digit numbers.
(Ex. 43x9 = (9x40 + 9x3)
=360 + 27
= 387
Reading we continue to complete Chapters 22-25 in Maniac Magee. This week we will go over 24-25 and a quiz on Thursday.
In Spelling we are studying long o words and looking at the different kinds of nouns. We will have a noun quiz on Friday.
In Science we are talking about ways in which we can shrink our Carbon Footprint with a series of activities sent to me through Seattle City Lights. Maureen will be bringing us microscopes so that we can see bugs and such on the big screen.
Social Studies we will read of TFK – Time for Kids.

Have a happy and Safe Halloween!
