Week of October 3rd

Class Party: our class party is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 7th, from 5:30-7:00.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there.  Thanks Ms. Brown for coordinating it!

LDC: this will be the second week of our rotation to LDC (Literary Development Center).  Our time with Ms. Diaz is from 1:05-1:50. The kids are working on Peace poems.

Language Arts: we will work on the short o sound, plural -s, and high frequency words. The Spelling list consists of 10 words: 8 words that follow the rule(s) for the week and 2 HFWs.  Spelling tests are given each Friday morning.

Math: we will work on making numbers this week, along with number sentences.

Social Studies: our focus will be state and national symbols.

PYP: We began the How we Express Ourselves planner this past week. We looked at a piece of art and talked about the things we saw such as shapes, colors, objects, etc.  We continue reviewing the PYP profile and attitudes and the Choose-Act-Reflect cycle.
