Thank you for all of the donations for the Halloween party. The students really enjoyed the treats, activities and movie. 

Several brave students read their spooky stories to other classes on Monday. I was impressed with their fearlessness and confidence

CLASSROOM WEBSITE
Brand new this week, I added a multiplication tab under the math section. On this page you will find extra printout worksheets of each multiplication fact (for extra practice at home), multiplication games and a link to print off a set of your own flashcards

 Veteran’s Day
November 11th is Veteran’s Day. In honor of the families with veterans in our class we plan on making a red, white, and blue display in the hallway/door. 
Read the attached note with your child and return to school on Monday. 
The students will have fun honoring their loved one.

This week the students finished their first five paragraph opinion essay on “If I had a Million Dollars…”  What an accomplishment! I am so proud of them and how far they have come since the first day of school!

Check out the hallway and class website for a sneak peak!

Novel Study
The Courage of Sarah Noble

Next week we will not do a story from our third grade reader instead we will read a historical fiction novel together. Some evenings students will be assigned a chapter to read at home for homework. This is a great time to sit down with your child and take turn reading pages while talking about what is happening in the story. 

This book is a story about Sarah’s journey to the west. She learns to be brave and along the way befriends her Indian neighbors. This chapter book integrates well with Thanksgiving and Social Studies.
