A big appreciation to Leslie, Kori, Karen, Gina, and Brittany for helping out with our Halloween party.  We had a blast!  One student said “This is the best day of my life!”

Parent conferences start next week.  Don’t forget it is early dismissal(1:45) for those two weeks.

I enjoyed hearing the Day of the Dead speeches the last couple of weeks. I was impressed their speech skills and overall confidence.  You can check out our altar in the classroom when you come for your child’s conference.

This week we are writing about Charlotte’ Web.  We have been discussing character traits and making inferences about characters.  Next week, we will switch to the character inference activity in our Home Reading Journals.

Our Miwok study is almost complete.  We are finishing up our 8 sentence paragraphs about one topic of your child’s choice.  We worked on highlighting important information and then organizing a paragraph.

Please make sure your child is practicing their MATH FACTS at home.  Some kids are ready to start memorizing the multiplication facts.  Remind them to do this systematically starting with x2, x3, etc.http://www.oswego.org/ocsd-web/games/Mathmagician/mathsadd.html


We are practicing subtracting using regrouping and various mental math strategies. Our next math focus will graphing. 

See you soon,

Ms. Lackey
