The math test was sent home this week.  I will be sending home the test after every unit.  Please sign and return them so I can keep them in my files. 
Our next math test on regrouping will be on Tuesday!  The kids are doing great!  This week will begin regouping with subtraction.
In Fundations we are learning about 1-1-1 words.  These are words that have one closed syllable, one vowel, and one consonant closing in the vowel.  The students are learning that when there is a 1-1-1 word, and you add a vowel suffix, then you must double the consonant. 
In writing this week the students learned about writing new and exciting leads in their story.  The five different leads we talked about were dialogue, action, setting, question, and sound.  Their new leads were amazing.
We met with our buddies today and worked on some Halloween word problems and then played Halloween Bingo.
We are hoping the Red Sox win this weekend so that we can have "Red Sox" day on Tuesday.  There is a whole school spirit day on Wednesday.  Don't forget your red!
The halloween party will be October 31st at 1:15.
