PARENTS-please remember to sign in to the front office before heading down the hall to classes. All visitors MUST SIGN IN and get a STICKER for safety reasons. Starting in October, it is time for children to walk themselves to class without a parent. This teaches the children independence and responsibility. This is for all students including Kindergarten.

Reader's Workshop: This month our readers will be making predictions and connections to the books. They will think about how the title and ending of the story go together. Readers will discuss stories with their partners and talk about the funny, exciting, sad and confusing parts of the story. We will also focus on the characters feelings and the lessons learned in the stories. Writer's Workshop: Writers will focus on: * Spelling the best you can and moving on *Using pictures and words when we write *Adding details to our stories by using speech bubbles *Stretching out stories by adding sounds *Adding dialogue and feelings to make our stories better.
