The Harkins Home and School Halloween party has been changed to Friday, October 26 at 6pm.  It is going to be a fantastic evening and hopefully lots of ghost and goblins from our class will attend!It will be a very exciting week in our class as we begin the Roots of Empathy program.  Mrs. Hans will be visiting us on Monday, preparing us for the family with Baby Tori next week!If your child plans on buying the cafeteria Halloween dinner on Friday, please send in the money by Thursday.  If you could send in some empty toilet paper rolls it would be much appreciated!  They will be brought back home, but in the form of a Halloween art project!Another fabulous week awaits us in 3 Newman :)

Here we are, the middle of October already!  We have a full and busy week ahead of us!  Please check your child's agenda in their homework binder each evening.  There will be a slight change in homework this week.  This is also where memos and other important information is sent home (bring back and keep home plastic sleeves).  It is very important that your child does their reading each evening and log it with your signature/initials.  It would also be very beneficial for you to ask your child questions about what they just read.  Comprehension remains an extremely important strategy!In Literacy we continue working very well during our Daily 5!  Ask your child what recent activities they did in Word Work from the "tic tac toe" choice board.  In Math, we will look at place value this week, concentrating on the numbers in the ones, tens and hundreds place.  Science will get exciting this week too.  Ask your child about it!Important Reminder: All fundraiser money and forms are due by Thursday!!  We certainly appreciate all the effort the students are putting into this :)
