This month we will be busy, we have a field trip to Safetyville on Wednesday, October 12th, and our first class party will be the first day of next month on All Saints Day. We will be learning about Saints this month, and also saying the rosary at Morning Prayer. We will be learning many things this month as well: Language Arts: We continue to practice and learn new letter sounds. Reading: We are almost done with the Unit 2 book, and will be starting Unit 3 shortly. Math: We are continuing to work with addition problems this month. Science: We are learning more about animals focusing on what they eat, how they eat and their needs. Social Studies: We are finishing up some work on maps this month. Religion: We are praying the rosary at Morning Prayer, and learning more from our Religion Books about the Trinity. Handwriting: We are practicing our letters and how to take our time and make our letters as neat as possible. Report cards will also be coming out later this month. The end of the quarter is the 14th and the report cards come out the following week. REMEMBER if you have any questions or concerns, you can e-mail, call or text me, whatever is most convenient to you. Take care and have a great rest of the month! Jill Higgins
