Your child has probably finished his or her first reading response sheet. We have practiced how a response looks like in class and children have been describing characters in our read alouds ( Tooter Pepperday by Jerry Spinelli; Freckle Juice by Judy Blume) and supporting their descriptions by giving details from the text. Using text evidence is an important skill we will be revisiting often this year.
Students took the Mid-Chapter Checkpoint for our current math unit. They were returned to your child today. Please review and sign. This assessment is not as formal as the chapter test but will provide feedback to what needs to be retaught so that the children can have a better understanding. As we continue our work with charts and graphs, it has become necessary for students to revisit skip counting skills. Here are two links that will provide practice with this skill. This is also a great way to prepare for the upcoming multiplication units.

Here's what's happening next week:
- Schools will be closed on Monday in observance of Columbus Day.
- We will take our first trip to the Armory on Tuesday. Please have your child dressed with sneakers.
Finally, I would like to thank parents who have donated books to our class library. If you are purchasing through our Amazon Wishlist, please be sure to let us know who you are so we may thank you! If you are thinking of donating books for the class, we would currently benefit most from nonfiction childrens books about the continents.
Have a beautiful three day weekend!
