Fall is in the Air

The weather was record breaking warm this weekend, but we aren't going to let that fool us.  Fall has arrived.

Next week is Harvest Break (Potato Harvest, Harvest Vacation . . . I hear it called all sorts of things!).  Watch for information about the Harvest Read-a-thon sponsored by the PTO.

Math: more on geometry and missing addends in addition and subtraction.  It's the first step to Algebra.For example:  M - 35 = 72  (Switch operations and solve in reverse!  Sounds crazy, but what it really means is, if you can't subtract down, then add up . . . once the problem is written vertically.)
Spelling and Grammar: Review of the past four weeks.
Reading: Two short stories about journeys.  The first an excerpt from A Cricket in Times Square. The second a true story about a little girl who was "mailed" to her grandmother, The Parcel Post Kid.  The cool thing about this story is that it took place in Idaho about a hundred years ago.

Thanks again to Mrs Allen who sings the best songs ever with us!
