The weeks are short, but the list of things we are doing is long!

Practice these words at home! We continue to talk about character, setting, and important events, but we also focused on the jobs of the author and illustrator.
Writing: In September we worked on getting our ideas down on paper. In October we are really focusing on writing about our pictures. The kids can write lists, label pictures or write sentences about their pictures. In a short period of time I am already seeing kids make great progress in writing!
Science: We talked about what a scientist does.
We asked a question: Do apples have skin?
We formed a hypothesis: Yes-apples have skin.
We tested our hypothesis: We cut open an apple and noticed that it was different inside that it looked outside. We cut open three different colored apples.
We drew a conclusion: Apples have skin
We recorded our observations: We began to label a diagram of an apple.
Upcoming Dates:
No School October 9 and 12
October 21: Our School Fun Run!

October 21: Our School Fun Run!
Register for the Fun Run!
The Fun Run is October 21, during the school day.
Our Fun Run is one of the Irving PTO’s biggest fundraisers and we need your support! Help your child raise donations through small or large flat pledges from friends and family. Over the last 3 years, we’ve raised $30,000 for school activities, and our goal this year is $10,000.
Look for the pledge envelope coming home this week in the Tuesday Packet. It has instructions on how to collect donations with cash, checks or online. Your child can start asking friends and family for donations today!
Register to accept online donations here.
The classrooms with the highest pledges and the most participation each earn awards!
