This week we are focusing on theme in reading.  We are practicing using clues from the story to analyze what message the author is trying to tell us.  In writing, we are continuing to work on dialogue and will be adding dialogue to our personal narratives.  We are almost to the editing/revising stage!

New book orders went home this week.  Orders will be due on Wednesday, October 23rd.  Students put a sticker with our classroom's online code into their agendas.

We welcomed 2 new students into our classroom in the past couple of weeks.  It has been so great watching the class work together to make them feel welcome.  We sure do have a great group of students and I find many reasons to be proud of them everyday:)

New WIN groups started this week!  Please check in with your student to find out which group they are in and what they have been practicing so far.

Conferences are just around the corner!  I will be sending home date/time reminders later this week.  Remember: These conferences will be led by your student so they must be able to attend! I am very excited for you to see all of the great work they have been doing here at school.

Thursday will be this year's first Unity Day here at PV.  Please remind your child to wear their Unity T-shirts or any orange!

Due dates this week:
Friday, October 11th- Reading Logs and PV T-Shirt Orders
Please also be sure your student is finishing their math homework each night.

Next Week-  Fundraiser materials due!

Have a great rest of the week!!
