A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK: 

*Reading: We will work with informational text as we focus on sequencing and cause and effect.

*English: We are working with adjectives and adverbs as we apply them to our descriptive writing unit. We will be using color words, sensory words, similes and adjectives as we write about our haunted houses.

We are also working on month abbreviations and commas in a series. A quiz covering those skills will be on Thurs. 10/25.

*Spelling: A new word list will be sent home on Monday. The 3 activities and test will be on Fri. Nov. 9th.

*Social Studies: We are busy learning about Downers Grove history and how it is connected to the underground railroad. A field trip form was sent home this week. Our field trip will be on Nov. 12th. Please contact me with any questions.

*Mrs. Olsen's Math Class: We are learning so many different strategies to add and subtract. These can by tricky at first, but once the kids get the hang of it, they are really amazed at all the ways they can work with numbers.

Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Olsen
