As we near the end of October I look back and think about all of the fun happenings that have occurred here at Christie this month.
I went back to my roots and taught sight words to first graders.
I worked on sound symbol correlation with 2nd graders.
With 4th grade I have been working on capitalization and punctuation.  I even taught Idioms in one class.
 
Yes, I know I am known for my math, but I can do LA too!  Don’t worry though; I also did plenty of math.
First graders are working hard with their basic facts and strip diagrams.  Just today my group was so proud that they didn’t have to think about 7 + 7, they just knew it was 14.
Second graders are going to be pros at subtraction with regrouping.  They have been working so hard on it and I am so proud of them. 
Last, but not least, 4th grade is tackling the art of multiplication and division.  They too have been working hard and it shows when you see them in their classrooms.
 
On top of all of that learning we had lots of fun with our school wide create a literary character from a pumpkin challenge and our Falling into Good Character assembly. 
November is just around the corner and I can’t wait to see what exciting things it will bring.

All,


Due to the forecast calling for heavy rain tomorrow, field day will be postponed until next Friday. Unfortunately, at this time, it looks like it may rain next week as well. If it rains heavily starting on Wednesday of next week, we will once again postpone field day until May. We want to thank you all so much for your understanding – fingers crossed we have a sunny week next week!
