Dear Parents,
We hope
everyone enjoyed their weekend! October is right around the corner. You can start
planning your character day costume (HALLOWEEN). We would like to remind you
that your child can come to school dressed like any book character he/she
chooses and will be asked to bring the book his/her character is from to school
on that day. Dressing up is fun and we encourage all students to do so. We also
encourage the students to work with their parents on making the costume. There
are many costume ideas on the internet and this is a great opportunity for you
and your child to work together and expand your child's (and yours)
imagination! We have included a link about homemade Halloween costumes under
the 'Links' heading.
We have decided to challenge our
students by using the common core State Standards, activities and vocabulary. We
adopted these standards last year as part of our Math Curriculum.
Language Arts
WWW: This week's
words are:

time, has, look.
Your child will be learning these
words, plus reviewing older ones, through various chants and activities.

the Great. Your child will be reviewing the following reading skills
with this book; setting, character, beginning, middle and end, problem, and identifying

opinion piece. They will introduce the topic they are writing
