This week's newsletter:

Math
We are finishing Ch. 3 this week. Students should now be able to count, read, write, and draw to show numbers 1-9. We will continue to practice if a number is greater or less than another number. Chapter 4 will focus on representing and comparing numbers to ten. Chapter 3 Math homework is due this week.

Thursday night from 6-8 is the W.T Math and Science Fall Fun Fest. There is a green flyer coming home with your child tonight containing more information. Please consider stopping by for free food, contests, and fun science and math activities. The book fair will also be open at this time for families to shop together. I look forward to seeing you there! 

Book Fair
Next week will be the Book Fair. We will be going on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. A flyer is coming home with your child tonight with books that they may choose from. You may choose to send in money for your child to choose whichever book they want or you may send in money along with a list or note regarding which books they are allowed to buy. It is very helpful if you can give some guidance! J You can check out the book fair online also at scholastic.com/bookfairs.

Snacks
Thank you to everyone that has sent in snacks for us to enjoy! We really appreciate it! Some of our favorites are pretzels, goldfish, and vanilla wafers.

Folders
Please be sure to empty out your child’s folder each night or each week. Thanks!
