READING

            Next week we will be reading the story The Paperboy by Dav Pilkey.  This story is about a paperboy and his dog and how they enjoy the quiet of the morning as they deliver the newspapers.   We will be working on the comprehension skill of visualizing to make sense of the text and reading independently.

                             
MATH

 In math we started our chapter on number patterns . We will be learning about ordinal numbers, greater than, less than, odd and even numbers and skip counting.  Please remember to practice flash cards daily.

Student  of the Week
Sophia is the Student of the Week!  She likes to play with the skip-it, she is learning how to roller skate and is good at playing Minecraft.  Her favorite animal is a puppy and her favorite color is pink.   When Sophia grows up she wants to be a Dress Designer or a Hair Dresser.

Thank you to everyone who signed up for our parent/teacher conferences.  I look forward to meeting with you on the week of November 4th.
