Odds and Ends

Also, please remember to fill out the pre-conference form that was sent home with your child and return it by Tues. 10/22. Thanks!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
*Fri. 10/25: List 3 Spelling test
*Thurs. 10/31: Happy Halloween! Classroom parties
A LOOK AT NEXT WEEK:
*English: We are working with adjectives 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.
*Spelling: We are in week 2 of working with our third spelling list. Please check in with your child to see how their progress in spelling activities are doing. They need to complete 3 activities by Fri. 10/25. Thanks!
*Social Studies: We will be busy learning about Downers Grove history and how it is connected to the underground railroad. We are learning about the Potawotomi Indians and more about the first settlers to call this area home.
*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
