Scarecrows!

This week in:

Shared Reading/Concepts-Our theme will be scarecrows. In science we will compare and contrast ourselves to scarecrows and learn about living and non-living things. On Friday we will build a life size scarecrow for our garden and make a special scarecrow snack! You are welcome to dress up like a scarecrow on Friday!

Daily 5 Reading-Our goal this week is accuracy and our strategy is using beginning and ending sounds to decode words.

Writer's Workshop-The boys and girls are doing a great job learning how to write personal narratives. We have begun using rubrics to reflect and self assess our writing.

Daily 5 Math-We are focusing on greater and less than and using the symbols and phrasing correctly.

Reminders:
*Red Ribbon Week is this week!
     ·         Monday – “I respect myself” – wear RED to kick off Red Ribbon Week
·         Tuesday – “I’m too bright to do drugs” – wear neon colors and sunglasses
·         Wednesday – “Sock it to drugs” – wear crazy socks
·         Thursday – “We’re teaming up against drugs” – wear your favorite team jersey
·         Friday – “Staying drug-free is no sweat” – wear sweatpants or a sweatshirt (you know you want too!)
*Wednesday is the 50th day of school! Can you believe it?! 
*Friday is scarecrow day in our classroom! You can dress up like a scarecrow if you like! Suggestions might be plaid shirt, straw hat, jeans, or khaki pants. 
*No walking school bus this week due to an early meeting for me
