October 31st-November 4th

Greetings Families,

What a great turn out for conferences this fall!  I was very happy to have met with 100% of families this year.  As we enter November, we have several days that are not regular school days (days off and half days).  Please be sure to check the “Important Dates” for these changes.   If your child participates in trick or treating tonight, please remember to not send him/her to school with candy for a snack.  Thanks!
In reading this week we are starting Unit 2: Working Together.  In this unit, we will read a variety of text genres, and will answer the following questions:
How can we help each other in dangerous situations?
How has working together changed history?
How can we work together to meet people’s needs?
Why is it a good idea to work together?
How can we work together to solve problems?

This week’s focus words are as follows:
Spelling Words
r-Controlled ar,or,ore,oar

hard    born    horse
before    more    smart
farm    porch    corn
chore    score    part
Amazing Words

If you have any questions, please call the school, email me: alipal1@gpsk12.org or write me a note in the O.W.L. binder. 

All the Best,
Mrs.Palermo
