Next Week

We've had a busy week but the students have been doing great!  I'm sure you're as pleased as I am to see how well your child is doing with Class Dojo. 
For next week, we will be in school on Monday, Veterans Day.  We'll do a few activities to celebrate the day. We will also be working on Unit 2 week 5.  Our phonics focus is the a vowel patterns, and in comprehension it is comparing and contrasting texts.  For writing we are continuing to work on details in our writing but also looking at informational writing and beginnings in narrative writing.
We've slowed down a bit with math because we've been buzzing through the units.  We'll continue with Unit 4 next week.
I will be out on Thursday and Friday of next week. I am taking 2 personal days to fly out to Seattle to help my sister in law as she is battling breast cancer and going through chemotherapy.  The substitute is Julia Ritchey, a recent Hershey graduate and student teacher.  I'll leave her detailed lessons as well as my computer so that she can access the use of the Smartboard.  The students will be in good hands.

As always, if you have questions or concerns please email me.  Have a great weekend! :)
