I can't believe it is October already! This year is just flying by! In Comprehension, we will be starting our Reading Short Stories unit, where we will be reading traditional literatures (tall tales, folktales, fables, legends, and myths). This upcoming week, we will focus on learning about Tall Tales characteristics.
In Writing, we will draft a personal narrative about a memorable event that has happened in our lives. Ask your child to share with you the "quilt" they have been making, inspired by a Patricia Polacco book.
In Word Study, we will continue our study of high frequency words. We will also be studying homophones, since our spelling words are commonly used homophones. Since there are only 12 spelling words, the spelling test will be THIS Friday, October 5th!
In Social Studies, we will be learning about different regions of the United States. Students will be creating posters to learn about a specific region of the USA.
Reminders:
* Picture Day is October 5th!
* 2 hour Early Dismissal is Monday, October 8th.
* Growing with Grains Field Trip is Tuesday, October 9th.
