Homework Folders:
I am running low on new homework folders. If your student has a tore up homework folder that looks like it has been through a war please buy them a new one. Please make sure it is plain yellow. It’s easy for me to see and notice. Thank you!
Check Backpacks! Today Thursday Thoughts come home, and a bunch of corrected papers are coming home!
Just Right Books!
Winter break is just around the corner and reading is going to be essential. Please remember to encourage your student to choose a Just Right Book. First they read the summary of the book to see if they are interested in the book. Then they read the first or second page. If they miss 4-5 words on that page the book is too hard. Time to pick another book.
Here is a great website I refer to when I want to know the grade level of a book. You will see a number that looks something like this, 4.3. That means 4th grade 3rd month.

Forest Ridge is conducting a canned food drive. C3 has set a goal for each of us to bring in 2 non-perishable items. If you can donate great! If not, no worries.
I have another way to give this season. It’s not school related. My church sponsors an orphanage in El Proviner, Mexico. I have gone to Mexico for a number of years to help out another orphanage there. This particular orphanage is the only one within 300 miles who accepts special needs kids. We are doing a penny drive to raise money for this orphanage. I thought this would be a great way for C3 kids to help kids without the same luxuries they have. I have a ton of pictures from the schools and orphanage I went to that I am going to share with the kids. If they would like to donate a few pennies or change great, again if not no big deal. This is strictly voluntary.
School Supplies:
Its that time of year! Pencils are shrinking, and erasers are worn out. Please double check with your student and make sure they have the necessary supplies for the school day. There are a couple of students who need scissors and glue.

Chirstmas Project
Last night as I was counting sheep I thought of a cute little Christmas project to do with the kids. If you have any old puzzles with smaller pieces you don't want any more I would love to use them for this project. If you know of anybody who wants to get rid of puzzles with small pieces please send them my way.

Buddy Rooms
On Friday we got together with our buddy room A3 and read them our fractured fairytale. If you don't know what a fracture fairytale is ask your student. If they don't know then that means they were not listening in class. :)Everyone had a great time.
The only homework the kids have this week is to read 20 minutes every day for a grand total of 120 minutes.
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

All in a Days Work
First of all I want to say that I am sorry I end up posting so late. If I have pictures to share then I have to post between 7:30-8:30pm. That's when Abby goes to bed. Adding to a blog with an 11 month crawling around is no easy task. So just know to check later in the evening.
The Keizer Rotary came and gave the 4th graders Dictionaries. I had students keep them at school for now because I have some activities I want to do with dictionaries while everyone has one.
Today the class was working really hard during reading. There are three groups reading three different books. I based these groups on reading level. I tried having the whole class read one book, but it was too hard for some, just right for others, and too easy for the rest. So one group is reading Shiloh Season, which is a great book that is a trilogy. Another group is reading about Louis Braille, and my last group is reading A Year Down Yonder. They all seem to be enjoying the books.
Stay tuned for more fun times in C3

C-3 News
Book orders:
Book orders are due November 14th. There are a number of great deals in the order forms, and some fantastic holiday books. A few order forms have come in and parents are ordering books for Christmas presents. What an affordable way to get kids reading!
C-3 Lessons:
Reading: Ask your student what book they are reading during reading time. Have them tell you about it.
Vocabulary seems to be an issue for most students. We have been working on synonyms, and antonyms. I am trying to find some websites that you can use at home too. I will keep you posted.
Writing: We will begin some persuasive letter writing, hopefully by Friday.
Math: We are diving into multiplication, and division. I want to get multiplication steady then move on to division. Some Geometry will also be thrown in. Students will be tested on their 2's this Friday the 14th. I sent home flash cards so hopefully they got home and are being practiced.
Science: We are continuing living things. Mr. Etchemendy will be coming in to teach a Science work sample lesson. We will also be working on classifying living things.
Social Studies: We are finishing up with Government (took longer than I thought), and will be moving into Lewis and Clark soon.
Homework:
I have noticed a huge drop in the amount of students bring back homework. Not only is homework a chance to teach responsibility, its also great practice for material we have covered in class. Please make sure to set aside homework time, and remind students to put their materials in their back packs.
If you are able to donate candy for the Friday parties we would greatly appreciate it. I know many of you just bought stuff for our Harvest party, so if you did not get a chance to donate for the party this is your chance to donate for the Friday Parties!
Math Whizz:
I am still learning the ins and outs of Math Whizz. If you have questions please ask and I will find the answer for you. The kids who have Math Whizz love it. I try to give them time during school to use it, but its not a lot of time. Please set aside time at home to use this great program. Many kids who do not have Math Whizz are very interested in it. I believe (don't quote me on this) there will be a time in January when kids will have a chance to sign up.

A long Weekend
Just a reminder we have no school the 10th or the 11th. Students are to read for 60minutes during their long weekend. Many students missed Friday party because Reading Slips and Homework were not turned in on time. This is the time of year to really watch your students and make sure they are still on top of their game.
Have a great weekend!

We will be presenting book reports in the afternoon November 4th and 5th. I am so sorry that I did not get this information to you sooner. Sometimes parents like to come watch. You are more than welcome to come and watch your student present. I will make sure the next book report presentation times are known ahead of time.
November 4th 1:00-2:00 This time could vary depending on the length. We could be done before 2:00
November 5th 1:00-2:00 This time could vary as well.
Thank you so much for all of your hard work!
Have a great night!

Pumpkin Patch
The pumpkin patch was a success. Last year EZ Orchards only had small pumpkins. So I prepared the kids for small pumpkins. I didn't want them to get there thinking they were going to get a huge pumpkin. Well.......I was very wrong! The pumpkins were huge. Of course we all had to get the biggest one we could carry. Then some kids had to roll them into our classroom. The students each learned how to pick an apple, and they went through the Oregon corn maze. Ask them to fill you in on some great information they learned. Initially I had this great worksheet requiring the kids to work in pairs and research some Oregon facts from the maze. I had clip boards and the worksheets. However, I forgot pencils! My plan did not work out as I wanted it to. We still had a lot of fun and enjoyed an apple cider doughnut afterwards. I love the pumpkin patch and look forward to going again next year.
