Week of 10/9

We are halfway through the first trimester! Hard to believe!!! Hopefully, you are monitoring grades online. If you are having trouble doing so, please call the front office. A sign up genius has been sent out for Fall Conferences. I am looking forward to meeting with parents in a few weeks. 

UPCOMING EVENTS: 

*Mon. 10/8: No School 

*Fri. 10/12: DOL #3 Quiz 

A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK: 

*Spelling: New words are coming home on Tuesday, along with a new menu. The activities and test will be on Fri. 10/19. 

*ELA: We will focus on theme and main idea, cause and effect, and character traits in reading this week. We are also starting a study on adjectives and a descriptive writing unit.  DOL is focusing on how to properly write book and movie titles and how to use introductory and transition words. 


*Social Studies: We will begin our unit on Downers Grove next week. We will begin by learning about the founder, Pierce Downer. This leads into a really fun field trip later in November. 

*Mrs. Olsen's Math Class: We will continue to work on Unit  3 next week. We will focus on rounding numbers to the nearest 10 and 100. We are learning new mental math strategies for addition and subtraction as well.

Have a great long weekend!
