Looks like Halloween is back on this year at LCE. Our school-wide parade will be at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, October 30th. I believe the idea is to have all the parents out back by the track to see all the costumes. The office is asking that everyone please walk around back rather than cut through the cafeteria. 2nd grade is having our party from 1-3 in the afternoon because of all the specials in the morning. We will mix all the kids up and have them rotate through 4 different Halloween centers. Parents are more than welcome to join in on the fun. I will need a couple volunteers to help out with the "Poor Joe" story in my room. Our class is also in charge of providing cheese and crackers for the 4 classrooms. So please let me know if you are interested in any of the above.
I'm finally ready to start putting together a monthly book order for any parents interested in some new reading material for home. I sent home two different flyers for October. The easiest way to order book is on-line. Just enter our class code: DX98H You can also fill out the order form and send it back to school with your child. Just make sure the checks are made out to Scholastic and NO CASH... I'm asking that all orders are due by next Friday, October 23rd.
Im looking for a few volunteers that would be willing to make some Kool-Aid playdough for our class. We have a fun landform project coming up that the kids really seem to enjoy. Please email if you'd be willing to help us out.
We spent the week working on personal narratives. We wrote our first one on Fall. If I have time we will also write one on everyone's favorite vacation. The writing process I use to help the children organize their ideas on this blog under the Writing Prompts tab. We also took our Unit 1 Reading Assessment this week. We will be back on schedule next week with our first story in Unit 2.
Module 2 Assessments are graded and in everyone's homework folder. The assessment focused on 2 essential standards: 2.MD.1 & 2.MD.5. I know that doesn't help you any so I pasted the standards below to help clarify.

and finally...
