FALL FRENZY!!

I hope you all had a relaxing and fun-filled fall break!  I certainly did, but I am very happy to be back to school.  Your children make me so happy and it is my privilege to get to know each of them!!

Here are some skills we will be working on this week:

• Math:  We will be learning about factors, multiples, and prime and composite numbers.  
• Reading:  We will be reading fables and the morals they are teaching.  We will also be learning about the setting, plot, and characters. 
• English:  We are taking a big leap this week into writing.  We will be discussing the proper way to write sentences, making outlines, and then.....oh yes, it's true......we will be writing our own descriptive paragraph.  The students will read their paragraph to the class and it is our job to figure out what is being described.  I am looking forward to hearing their descriptive paragraphs!!  They also have spelling contract activities to complete each night.  

I hope your children are enjoying school and tell you about all the fun we have learning in our classroom!  There is definitely no shortage of enthusiasm!

If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact me through e-mail, phone, or a classroom visit.  We would enjoy your presence in our classroom, so feel free to join us anytime!
