October is a great month. There are so many different things going on at school.

1. We started Tech Buddies with our first grade friends last week. We had a great time learning from them. 
2. We are starting a new reading unit...MYSTERIES! Mysteries are so much fun this time of the year. My students have picked out a mystery to read with their partner. 
3. We have started working with data and graphing. On Friday, we made "Pumpkin Glyphs." During small groups, each child will analyze the data from the glyphs and create a bar graph. 
4. We will start our social studies unit. We will learn and discuss the three types of communities: rural, urban, and suburban. 

Reminders:

Our field trip is on Monday! Please have your child bring a bag lunch (no lunch boxes) with a drink. We will be learning about different places in our community. 

Conferences are this week. Please be on time. 

No school Friday for teacher workday.
