Week 11

IT IS HALLOWEEN WEEK AT MANN!

This week, we will do our BEST to stay focused since Wednesday is going to be FUN DAY for our students!  Please note, there will be NO HOMEWORK sent home on Wednesday this week due to Halloween.

We will be working on NONFICTION again in reading and writing.  In math we will cover lessons 3-5 in Module 3 on Place Value.  (Please click on the "math tab" to watch the videos that go along with those lessons.)

Please remember the "special lunch hour" on Wednesday for students to go home to change for Halloween.  Lunch will be from 11:30-12:45.  Our classroom parties (for room parents and students only) will be from 1:00-1:45 with the parade following until dismissal.

Thank you to all the room parents who are helping with the planning of each class party!  We really do appreciate your time!  😏

Also, thank you to everyone for meeting with us last week for parent teacher conferences!  If you have any additional questions, please email your teacher.
