October 31-Nov. 3

 Hello Families!

We have been working hard this week!  Here is what we have been learning:

 Moral Focus:  This month we are talking about gratitude.  Gratitude means having a thankful heart.  We are talking about the difference between saying "thanks" and really feeling thankful in our hearts.

Reading: We are continuing to work on setting.  We are working more in depth with it by identifying all the settings in the story.

Phonics:  This week we worked on Hh.  We are also starting to work on fluency by using out sight word knowledge and our decoding abilities to read short passages.  We are practicing fluency by reading it smoothly.

Math: We are focused on making tally marks and reading tally marks.  Our goal is to look at tally marks and count by 5s.

Social Studies:  We have been talking a lot about what makes up a community.  The week we are focusing on ourselves and the ways that we make a community better.  We have talked about how important it is that we are all different and bring so many great things to our community.

Reminders: 

-Our field trip is on November 14th at the Museum of Nature and Science.  Please remember to pack a sack lunch for your child on this day.  The bag should be disposable.  Label the bag and all items in the bag.  Your child must ride on the bus to and from the museum.  If you want to check them out when we return, you must do so through the front office of the school.

- This month, Kindergarten is in charge of the Moral Focus assembly for all primary grades.  We are going to be going over gratitude.  This assembly will be held at the end of the month.  More details to come.
