Week of October 19-23, 2015

Hello families!
We are already halfway through October! It's hard to believe.
We are getting ready for our first field trip to the pumpkin patch next week and the kids can't wait!

Here is what we have coming up:

Important dates:
Thursday 10/22: pumpkin patch field trip. Please send your child with a bag lunch, as we will be eating at the pumpkin patch.

Saturday 10/24: Phoebe Hearst harvest festival. This is such a fun event! Please be sure to come and support our school. You can also support room 4 by working in our booth. We need volunteers!

Language Arts
Letter focus this week: Uu, Vv, Ww, Xx
New sight words: big, have, and small
We are continuing to work on telling stories through pictures this week. We have talked about what characters are doing, how they feel, the setting, and details that illustrators use to help tell stories. This week the kids will begin to tell stories using several illustrations instead of just one.

Math
We have begun Topic 4 on comparing numbers up to 10. This chapter can get tricky for some kids, so if you notice your child having difficulty with any of this week's homework pages, please let me know!

Wish List Items
I would love two rolls of clear contact paper! I am going to give the kids new nametags and table spots at the end of this trimester.
We will also always take paper--any color--for the recess art table.

Thank you for reading, everyone! Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.
