October 18- 22
Reminders:
Monday folder stuffer for October: Giannina Lawhon

In Reader's Workshop this week we are reading books on our level and discussing our shared reading about Night Time Animals. Today we made a web of night animals and wrote down what they eat. We will be sharing more stories about Night Animals and working on reading strategies to improve comprehension. Next week we will be studying pumpkins and will have a Pumpkin Feast. I will send an email sign up sheet later this week for pumpkin items to send!
In Writer's Workshop we are winding down our Launching unit and discussing the details of publishing. Your child will bring home their folder from our first unit with their stories in it, next week. Please remember that as writers not all of their pieces will be finished and have perfect handwriting. We have learned that Authors do not publish all of their pieces, just the ones they like the best.
In Spelling our rule is the wh, ch sounds.
Spelling words: this, bath, white, that, when, with
Challenge words: whistle, ghost
Sight word vocabulary: so, no, him, what, we
In Math this week we are continuing our unit on basic math facts. We have stations set up around the room with games to reinforce facts and make learning fun. The students will also be working in small groups as we learn to record our math facts. In the mornings they will be solving word problems related to this and previous units.
In Social Studies this week we are studying landforms. Today we brainstormed a list of landforms and their characteristics. We read a book about deserts and started to write about what characteristics a desert has as a landform.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Caballero
