Windy Wednesday

Some upcoming things to think about:

• Please return the bottom portion of the cookie social letter that was sent in the Friday folders.
• The kiddos will be decorating sugar cookies for the holiday party on December 19th.  We will need donations  of cookies, frosting and decorations for this.  More information will be coming soon.
• Midterm grades come out after this week.  You will be able to see on  Parent View how your child is doing.
• You can order Go, FIght Quinn T-Shirts.  These are due by November 20th.  Please let me know if you want a form emailed.
• Gum Day is Friday, November 21st.  A donation of $1 (for the new playground equipment) will allow your child to chew gum during the day.  Every month will have one special day to help raise money.
• Mrs. Cota is set to return on Wednesday, December 3.

In math, we are breaking apart patterns.  The kiddos are starting to get very good at it.

In reading, we are learning about all the thoughts, ideas, words, and pictures that go into reading.  It is not an easy task to read!  We looked at a spider web.  If one strand is broken or missing, the web might not hold together.  The same thing happens when we read.  For instance, if we don't look at the pictures, we might miss important information to help us understand the pictures.  Or if we don't use our schema (our previous experiences) we might not understand either.

In writing, we continue to write about fall.
