Spelling - We had time to study our Week 3 words today. Quiz tomorrow!

Math - We are starting a new unit on Operations. We took time today for each student to make a set of multiplication flash cards. It's important that we're all confident with our times-tables, as this skill makes up the foundation of so many of our math skills moving forward. Keep these flash cards in your desk to practice regularly. Next week, you can see Mr. Saganski if you would like him to print you off a second set to take home for extra practice.

Arts - We had time to finish coloring our Dialogue Comics (which were due today) and work on our Halloween Op Art Shapes.

Reminders:
Jersey Day tomorrow
Gross story assignment due tomorrow
Spelling quiz tomorrow
Photo orders due Tuesday.
