IMPORTANT NEWS:

The National Conference for Teachers was amazing and we will start using

things I learned there, this week. I believe it is going to help our class and

Berg Elementary really grow and thrive. I am excited for our future.

We will be having our Halloween Parade and Party on:

Wednesday, October 31st.

If you are planning to participate, please arrive after 2:00.

We will begin dressing into costumes at 2:15.

The parade will begin at 2:30.

Things to remember:

Please send a snack with your student daily.

Reading:

We are back to having a spelling test. Please practice words at home

when you have time.   

For our morning reading assignments, we now have choices. That means

your student gets to choose which article they read from a list of

options. This week we are learning about owls, the desert, symphony orchestra,

garbage in the ocean, the stars, and turtle shells, to name a few things.

Remember, our A.R. Reading goals started over with the new quarter. Please

help your child with reading whenever possible. Many of you have started

chapter books, it is important to talk about what has already happened before

continuing on with the next chapter. Sometimes it can also be fun to try

and guess what might happen next. Please focus on having fun, reading should

never be a burden, it should be a special time.

Writing:

Our writing project this week is going to be exciting. We will be writing our

own stories, our second creative writing project. This time we are challenging

ourselves with a longer story.    

Math:

We are learning how to tell time, and starting to learn measuring

skills. Of course, we are always working on addition, subtraction

and place value. We have seen some great improvements recently.
