FIELD TRIP
We are very excited to take our first graders to Zach Theater for a live play (A Year with Frog and Toad). This is an opportunity that many of our kids experience for the first time in their lives. We are thankful to our generous Parent Teacher Association for providing us with the fund to do this for our kids. Our field trip is on Thursday, November 6th. We will leave campus at around 10 AM. Please have your child wear a Caraway shirt (if they have one), and comfortable tennis shoes. Also, please check the weather to see if any warm clothing is needed. Please pack a disposable sack lunch and water bottle. We will eat a picnic lunch outside the theater.

Here is what we will
be doing this week:
READING
We will continue learning about non-fiction and this week we will explore a new genre which is biography/autobiography. Sometimes writers try to teach us about someone's life and therefore they write about the important events in a person's life and things that they have done. We call these kind of books biography. Sometimes, writers write about the important things about their own life and we call this autobiography.

WRITING
This week we will be finishing up our Spider books. We have researched, recorded our data, organized our data, and now we are putting everything together. The kids have worked hard on this project for 2 weeks now and I am super proud of them. They will be hanging in the hallway for everyone to see!
MATH
This week in math we will learn about money and particularly the value of pennies and dimes. We will count the dimes by 10 and count the pennies by one. In the process, we will review the place value and counting by groups of tens and ones. We will also learn that one dollar is 100 pennies (100 ones) or 10 dimes which is 10 groups of 10.

SOCIAL STUDIES
This week in social studies we will learn about physical characteristics of places and different landforms such as plains, valleys, mountains and hills. We will also learn about different bodies of water and the characteristics of each such as river, lake and ocean.
Habit #5 Seek First to Understand, Then
to be Understood: I listen to others without interrupting. I try to see things from their
viewpoint. I am confident in voicing my
own ideas.
