A note from Mrs. Chern…. Report Cards will go home Monday. Please sign the gold

envelope and return it. The report card inside is for you to keep. Our field trip to the play is

already rescheduled for March 12th. We will see The Cat in the Hat. Picture make-ups are this
upcoming week. Please let me know if you need retakes. If your child was absent when we

took pictures earlier in the year they will take them Tuesday.  If you have not already signed up
for a conference for next week please do so ASAP. Click HERE to sign up. The kids are excited

about sharing their learning. Show them some grace this first time around. With missing two

days of school we are a teeny tiny bit behind and won't get the practice time in that I had

planned.

Upcoming Week’s Standards…

Reading: Fiction retelling (characters, setting, events) and using meaning to figure out new

words and what they mean.

Writing: Choosing an idea, writing an opinion, choosing strong reasons, and adding closure

Spelling: Unit 12

Math:  place value, solving word problems using place value

Science: The features of the sun, patterns of the sun, does the sun move?

… There is a passage again with two questions. Please remember to practice

reading the passage every night to improve fluency. The children will practice comparing

numbers with word problems.  

Upcoming Events…

• 10/16 Picture Make Up Day and Media by Moonlight
• 10/19 Track Out
• 11/13 Track In

A note from Mrs. Chern…. Report Cards will go home next week sometime. I am still

having a difficult time getting grades to populate and comments to show. Our field trip was a

blast. We got to do some learning about how different countries around the world celebrate

special holidays. We will story more of this ½ way through 2nd quarter. Next week we will get

to see Pete The Cat on Thursday. We have read tons of Pete the Cat books so it will be amazing

to see it come to life. Student Led Conference sign up’s will be coming home as well. They will

be during the week of Oct. 15th.

Upcoming Week’s Standards…

Reading: Fiction retelling (characters, setting, events) and how illustrations help tell a story

Writing: Choosing an idea, writing an opinion, choosing strong reasons, and adding closure

Spelling: Unit 11

Math:  Reviewing using place value to make double digit numbers, comparing double digit

numbers

Science: The features of the moon, patterns of the moon, does the moon move?

… There is a passage again with two questions. Please remember to practice

reading the passage every night to improve fluency. The children will practice comparing

numbers and finding the difference. This is done through pictures not equations. Let me know

if your child is struggling and you need more information about this.
