We are getting excited for our Week of Reading next week! Most students have picked out a book for Character Parade so that they can work on their costume this weekend. Please remember that all students need to come dressed as a favorite character and bring the book to school on Tuesday.

Here is a reminder about the rest of the week:

Monday - bring a stuffed animal
Tuesday - Dress as a favorite book character. Our Character Parade will be at 8:45am. Parents are welcome to come and watch.
Wednesday - Sports Day
Thursday - Wear a shirt with words. We will also have our Family Reading Night from 5:00-6:00 starting in the cafeteria.
Friday - Pajama Day

Here is a look at our week:

Reading: We started learning about Main Idea which is what a story is mostly about. We read several short stories and worked together to find the main idea.

Writing: We continued working on our letters. This week we focused on adding more details to the reasons that support our opinion.

Math: We started learning about graphs! We made several picture graphs and bar graphs and worked together to analyze them.

1. Monthly Bible Verse: See what amazing love the Father has given us! Because of it we are called children of God. 1 John 3:1
