Announcements
Please note students do not have school on Monday, September 24, as it is a teacher work day.
In the Friday folder, you will find a volunteer letter for our upcoming field trip to the Central Missouri Food Bank. We need at least 4 parent volunteers, but 5 would be even better! You have to have a background check completed and on file, so please complete and return this form as soon as possible if you are interested.
We also have a field trip to the Rock Bridge High School Planetarium coming up on October 17. Parent volunteers are not needed for this field trip, as there is limited space.
The Comet Carnival is quickly approaching! Be on the lookout for lots of information about this fun event on October 12. Each class is in charge of a basket for the silent auction. Our theme is "Dog Lovers." Feel free to pick up items for the basket. They are due by October 5.

In the Classroom
In math this week, we finished studying mass and took our first unit assessment. We will begin unit 2 next week.
In writing this week, we focused on selecting small moment stories and then exploding them with details. I was so impressed with how students were able to choose personal narrative topics that were zoomed in on one small moment. We will focus on adding stronger details next week.
Our focus in reading this week was on problem/solution and plot. We also began our first round of reading groups. Students learned my expectations and routines for this small group reading instructional time. We also finished making our character trait selfies for our bulletin board!
In social studies this week, we began learning about different cultures. We read books that contained diverse characters and various backgrounds. Students used an app called Pebble Go to explore customs from around the world.
