We are going to have a busy week! A lot of learning is taking place in our classroom.
OPEN HOUSE is this THURSDAY from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. Make sure that you stop by and let your child show you his/her work, our habitat projects, where his/her small reading group takes place, and much more! We will be having a bake sale on this night as well. If you haven't signed up for parent/teacher conferences (happening in October), I will have this sign up sheet out for you to meet with me! :)
Here are a few websites that we were made aware of that have to do with milk. Your kids might enjoy these sites!

The "Energized Kid" is going to be visiting our school on Wednesday! We will be attending a program by T.V.A. to learn how to conserve energy.
Our field trip to Lee University is on Friday! We're excited to see the play, The Big Bad Wolf Tells All.
Here is a little glance at our week:
Reading: We are reading the story, A Big Fish for Max. Our reading comprehension skill is main idea and looking for small details to support the main idea. In phonics, we will be working on digraphs sh and th. These are in our spelling words this week. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE these words at home this week!!!! These words DO NOT follow a pattern (like all of our previous words) and will be a little harder to memorize.
Math: We are finishing up Topic 4 in math (Understanding subtraction) and will dive into Topic 5 (Five and Ten Relationships) this week.
