Halloween:
2. We only have 15 minutes for costume changes. Please make sure your child can change into his/her costume easily and by themselves. If the costume can be worn over their clothes, then both the time to change and the chances of losing any clothes is minimized.
3. If the costume involves make up, please apply it before your child comes to school. If you send your child in with make up, then your child has to be able to apply it themselves.
4. Please do not send any weapons (guns, swords, etc.) as part of the costume. Save those for trick-or-treating.
5. We will not have time to change back into our clothes for dismissal. Your child will wear their costume home.
Fri. 10/27 and Mon. 10/30: No School
Tues. 10/31: Happy Halloween!
Fri. 11/2: Social Studies: Downers Grove History Test
Math: 5's x test
*Spelling: We will start a new word sort this week. The test and 3 menu activities will be due on 11/10.
*English: We are working on descriptive and persuasive writing as we finish up our haunted house paper. We are also working on nouns (possessive, plural, and abstract nouns).
* Social Studies: We are wrapping up our Downers Grove History unit. A study guide was sent home this week for the quiz on Fri. 11/2. A great way to study is to re read and review the Downers Grove packet storied in your child's Social Studies folder in their binder. We will play a review game in class next week as well.
*Mrs. Olsen's Math Class: We are beginning a new unit, Unit 3: Multi Digit Addition and Subtraction. We will also continue to work on fast facts for multiplication, focusing on our 5's facts. A graded, timed test will be given on Fri. 11/2 on 5's facts. Next up will be 10's facts. I went over some good study strategies for multiplication facts this week: ask your child about some of the fun ways they can practice.
Have a great, LONG weekend as we get ready for Halloween!
Best,
Mrs. Olsen
