A huge thanks to Robert van der Hoeven for joining us as a WatchDOG this past Thursday! We loved having him and encourage all dads (uncles and grandfathers) to consider spending a day at school!
Grandparents' Day We look forward to seeing lots of Grandparents at our annual lunch on Thursday. Our class will have lunch at 11:10. Tickets may be purchased in the office for $3.00.
Our class earned 1000 Frederick Five hands and we have earned the reward of having Pajama Day. Yahoo!!! Pajama Day will be on Friday, November 9th.
Don't forget the change with Wednesday’s homework. Each week students will now need to practice their addition and subtraction math facts as part of their weekly homework. They can practice their facts online or using the flash cards that we handed out at conferences. One possible website is: http://www.mathfactcafe.com/worksheet/flashcard
Each week this will need to be turned in by Wednesday. We are looking for 6 signatures - 3 addition and 3 subtraction.
Penny Harvest: Our Penny Harvest is going strong! Keep those pennies (or any other coins) coming as we work to raise money for others in need. We will be collecting pennies until November 15th.
We have also begun our annual canned food drive. Thank you in advance for anything you can donate as we collect items for families in need this winter.

What are we learning this week?
Reading: We are learning about Expository genres and the reading strategy Determining Importance as we continue our unit The Sun. Our vocabulary words will be daily, orbit, solar, ray, rotate, and position. We are wrapping up Theme 4 and will be taking the test this week.
Writing: We are wrapping up our work on personal narratives through writing small moment stories. Students will be writing a final small moment of the unit as we assess for a lead (topic sentence), mighty middle (3 or more details) and a satisfying ending (concluding sentence).
Math: We continue working on story problems in Unit 3. Students are working on reading a story problem, correctly identifying the equation, and drawing a proof picture to match. We will be taking the Unit 3 test at the end of this week on Friday. Grades will be based on being able to clearly use a correct equation, proof picture, label and answer with each story problem. All classes will also be taking the Galileo Math Test which is an assessment of skills learned during our first trimester.
Science: We are working on publishing our research of the solar system. All students have chosen part of the solar system to research with a partner or small team.
Social Studies: The presidential election is our focus in Social Studies. Students are learning about the election process and the importance of being an educated voter through a mock election of popular Angry Birds characters!
Word Study/Spelling: This Wednesday's spelling test will be on words ending in Y. Our new focus on the UE and EW vowel pattern (blue and knew) will begin on Wednesday and be tested the following week.
