Please don't forget to bring your book bags to school every day. Friends that do not bring book bags back to school cannot take a new book home that day :( The book or books in your child's book bag will be books we are working on together in reading groups and/or books self-selected by your child.
Parent conferences are coming up in a few weeks! I will be posting a parent conference schedule on a clipboard down at the playground Monday morning - this schedule will also be in our classroom the next several weeks. Please take the time to pop by and sign up for a good time that suits your schedule. If you are not able to come to school to sign up, please email me {JCBess@inlandleaders.com} and we can choose a time for you! I look forward to meeting with you and discussing your child's progress!

Students will continue to read their self-selected good fit books and paper books from their book boxes. This week, I will be assessing students on letters, sounds, sight words, and letter teams learned so far.
Writing: We will continue to write three sentences on the same topic, using an uppercase at the beginning of a sentence, finger spaces after each word, and a period at the end.
Math: We will continue our unit on "Counting with Friends", along with our fun Halloween math story problems. This week, I will be assessing each student on their knowledge of numbers, counting and cardinality, and geometry and shapes.
Leadership: Our leadership theme for the month of October is TEAMWORK. We will have our Leadership Awards Assembly on Friday morning.
