Salutations Everyone!
I just had to use that word since we are in the middle of the classic Charlotte's Web!
This Friday we will celebrate Fall Festival with a costume parade beginning at 8:30. Please join your child back in the classroom where they will enjoy a snack before waiting for the festival to begin. It is important that you sign your child out in the classroom before going to the festival. I just know you will enjoy this fun day!
Due to Friday's events, we will take our spelling tests, vocabulary quizzes, and a math chapter test on Thursday. The math practice test will go home on Wednesday to use as a review.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!

Happy Monday Everyone!
Due to Professional Development Day this Friday for teachers, our spelling and vocabulary quizzes will be held this Thursday. The spelling words are not difficult to spell, but they will need to listen to the sentence stated to know which homophone to write.
Our poem for Poetry in the Park is called "Eat-It-All Elaine". It's a cute poem! We need someone to be our "Elaine". Auditions for the part will be held this Wednesday. We are looking for someone who is not afraid to perform in front of a large audience. Most of my class fits this criteria! More information will follow about Poetry in the Park (November 11th) as well as what the children should wear.
The Halloween Parade/Fall Festival will take place on Friday, October 28. This is a very fun day. Please send in the forms regarding this day if you have not already done so.
Wishing you all a fantastic week!

Hello Everyone!
Town Meeting was so nice with our beautiful fall weather! We are working schoolwide to ensure that we are all giving "put-ups" instead of "put-downs". Please ask your child about this.
This week is Parent/Teacher Conferences! I look forward to meeting with all of you. If you are unsure of your time, please email me, and I will be happy to confirm our scheduled time.
The vocabulary for the following two weeks is as follows...
Collection Vocabulary:
marveled, ensemble, complicated, swoops, wrangler, bawling, nosing, longed, pesky, rebellion, brocade, tour, towering, summed up, Emancipation Proclamation
Wordly Wise Vocabulary has been put on hold for two weeks so that we can work on the following Science Vocabulary Words:
force, friction, fulcrum, inclined plane, lever, load, machine, axle, power, pull, pulley, push, screw, spring, tool, torque, wedge, wheel, work
Our next math test will be on Tuesday, October 4th. We will spend time in class reviewing on Monday and on Tuesday before the test. Many students still don't know their addition/subtraction facts by heart. This slows them down when working with larger numbers to add/subtract. Practicing with flash cards is a great way to build confidence and speed with the facts.
Wishing you a fabulous week!
