 Fall  is  here!    We  are  busy  learning  about  our  5  senses.    We  are  using  our  science  tools  to  explore  apples  and  pumpkins.  In  Reading  we  are  learning  about  main  idea  and  details,  character  and  setting.    Please  read  with  your  child  daily  and  have  your  child  practice  telling  you  the  characters  and  setting  and  retell  the  story.    In  Math  we  are  learning  about  comparing  numbers.  We  are  also  practicing  counting  to  25.    Our  storybook  parade  is  October  31!    Please  remember  to  choose  a  character,  create  a  costume,  and  bring  in  the  book.    Be  creative!    

Happy Fall!

First Graders are working on “Re-telling” stories in order. This is an easy one to practice at home. Just have your child re-tell any story you read to them. Be sure to have them use the words first, next, then, last. We use these words when we are writing narratives as well.

In math, we are learning different strategies to solve addition problems. It is time to really practice those math fact. Students should be solving addition and subtraction problems to 10 in just a few seconds. Practice, practice, practice.

In Science, we will be describing and sorting objects by their properties. This can be loads of fun. Sink/float, heavy/light, hot/cold, etc.…

Do not forget that we will be having our “Storybook Parade”. Choose a book and character to dress up as. More information will come home soon.

Thank you for all your support.

 Whooo  is  that  learning  all  about  their  letters  and  letter  sounds?  Why  it  is  preschool  of  course!  We  have  been  having  a  howling  good  time  here  in  preschool  learning  all  about  our  five  senses  and  now  we  will  be  flying  into  some  batty  new  knowledge  and  sticking  a  web  of  new  facts  in  our  brains.  We  are  anxiously  awaiting  our  upcoming  Story  Book  Parade  on  the  31st  and  can't  wait  to  see  all  the  amazing  costumes.

October is here and our 4th graders are busy, busy, busy. In math, we’ve been working on solidifying our multiplication skills and solving multi-step math problems. We’ve also been busy working on our laptops using programs such as i-Ready for Math as well as Reading. Our students really love them and are using them very responsibly. The fourth grade teachers are using the laptops as part of their center activities during our ELA reading block as well. The students are using their laptops to do research in order to create posters and pamphlets that correlate to the subject areas we’re learning about such as New York and Ecology.

In reading, we’ve been working on main idea and details, as well as understanding characters in plays, prose, and folktales. Their i-Ready reading lessons help reinforce these skills as well.

We’d like to thank our families for keeping up with signing your child’s agenda daily. It helps keep them accountable for completing their homework on a regular basis and it serves as our main form of school/home communication.

Please keep those Harvest Drive donations coming in. We want to be able to help many families in need this holiday season.

Biztown is coming!!

5th Grade students and parents: Mark your calendars! On Thursday, December 1st, 2016, Lakeside Elementary’s 5th graders will be going on a free field trip to J. A. Biztown in Coconut Creek, FL.

OCTOBER’S  KID  OF  CHARACTER  TRAIT  -­‐  RESPONSIBILITY  Responsibility is the character trait or the month of October. This newsletter offers you activities and ideas, which will assist you with helping your child to understand the importance of responsibility.

Responsibility is essential for becoming a healthy, happy, and productive person, and it is the basis for a free and civil society where each person does what he or she is expected to do. This belongs at home where children learn to take care of their belongings, clean up after themselves, do chores with a good

attitude, finish their homework and resolve conflicts peacefully. Encourage your children to take responsibility in “little things”

so they are ready for greater opportunities in the future! Ideas to Do as a Family

• Have your child share with you about times they are responsible. Emphasize that being responsible requires knowing what is expected and not making excuses.

• Share with your child about something you did that required responsibility. Explain how you are responsible. • Schedule daily household chores that your child will be responsible for.

• “Catch” your child being responsible and offer your encouragement by verbally showing your appreciation.

• Watch a movie or TV program together and discuss how the characters are being responsible. • Volunteer as a family to do a community service project together.

• Remember that the best teaching tool is to always model the behavior you want your child to learn.      Congratulations  to  all  of  our  October  Kids  of  Character  for  Responsibility.    A  SPECIAL  congratulations  to  Tyrrell  Morris  from  Mrs.  Lopez’s  5th  grade  class  for    

being  selected  as  our  school-­‐wide  Kid  of  Character  for  Responsibility.      He  will  be  honored  this  month  at  the  Pembroke  Pines  Police  Department.
