Reading We will continue reading Owen & Mzee: The True Story of a Remarkable Friendship by Isabella Hatkoff. Students will continue being critical readers, looking at the information to determine why the author wrote this book. Students are answering questions related to the text, using context clues to determine the meaning of unknown words, and identifying text features used in this nonfiction text. We are in full swing with Daily 5. Students learned how to be good reading coaches this week. Ask them about it.
Reading Logs Please continue to read and help your child record minutes in their October reading folder. Reading logs are due Wed, November 5th.
Language Arts
Grammar Our focus will be on collective nouns.
Spelling Students will continue their word study with the words they brought home this past Monday. The focus will be on vocabulary activities. Make sure to keep the words in the ziploc bag and in a safe place so they can be used next week. An assessment will be given on Friday.
Math We've started the topic Place Value to 100. The lessons next week will focus on identifying and writing numbers that are 10 more or 10 less than given numbers, identify even and odd numbers, and problem solving using data from a chart. An assessment will be given by Friday.
Math Facts Math facts should be reviewed daily. The Math flash cards that you purchased should be used to practice math facts as well as the one minute math practice worksheets that are brought home. Weekly timed tests are given.

Music From Miss Wyse:
Also, Miss Wyse is in need of parent volunteers to help the students make headbands for the musical. Please contact her if you are interested at jwyse@ccsd66.org.
We ask that students bring their costumes to school with them in their backpacks or in a clearly marked bag. Costumes should fit over their clothes so they can put them on easily. NO toy weapons or weapon look alikes are allowed at school. Also, no edible treats can be sent in that day due to allergies. The room moms will provide treats for the classrooms that have been teacher approved.
