Newsletter 9-14-12


      This week in reading we have been practicing making connections in reading workshop.  When we listen to our thinking voice when we read, we can make connections to things we already know to help us understand.  We are also building our stamina for reading.  Stamina is doing anything for a long time without getting too tired or giving up.  We are improving each day!

A few of us have published our first books in writing and more are soon to come.  We are writing personal narratives.  A personal narrative tells the true story of something that happened to you. Boy, did we have lots of stories to tell when we were gathering ideas!

In math we finished up our subtraction facts topic and we are now working on word problems.  We are doing a great job on our fact sheets too.  Keep up the good work!

Spelling words for next week:
cast   quit   rent   stock   trust   teeth   wheel   white   fish   chick   then   those   who   shook

Our spelling tests are on Thursdays.

Upcoming events:

Sept. 6 – Open House 6-7:30pm, also PTO Book Fair
Sept.25 – PTO meeting 5:30pm
Oct. 4 – Parent Teacher conferences
