October 17: Have a happy BOO Bash!

My thanks to all families for sending the salt dough for our fun mapping activity. The kids were very excited to participate and we look forward to showing our finished products soon!

Here's what's happening next week:

• Our math unit, Multiplication Concepts, has come to an end and we will have our test on Monday. 
• We are headed to the Armory on Tuesday. Please make sure your child wears sneakers. 
• We are also starting our Music program on Tuesday. Mr. Kiah will teach our third graders vocal music and how to play the recorder.
• We are starting a new writing unit on Tuesday. Children will begin to learn how to write informational pieces. The focus of this unit is to develop writing that informs or teaches others a topic of a child's expertise. We will look at organizing and writing information on topics we know a lot about so we can share that knowledge with readers. Please help your child get ready for this work by discussing topics that they know a lot about. Usually, it's a hobby, a certain type of pet, or an interest. It will be great for your child to get a reminder of what they know. 
• Wednesday is Picture Day! We are scheduled to have our photos taken at 12:20 ( before lunch). 

Have a fabulous fun weekend!
