Don't forget, there is no school tomorrow.

We will have a math test on Tuesday. This will cover measurement to the nearest inch and half inch as well as telling time to the nearest 5 minutes. Telling time is a skill students will need throughout life. It would be a great idea to practice with an analog clock. We are practicing in class with a time check throughout the day, plus reenforcing this skill at home will be very beneficial. Our next math unit will be covering addition and subtraction with three digit numbers.

We will continue our unit on Government. By now, we've discussed how a bill becomes a law. Ask your child about the process!

We will have a classroom auction on Wednesday, October 31. If you would like to donate any items we would greatly appreciate it. Individually wrapped candy, dollar store items or even books or small trinkety toys you want out of your house would work!
Reading minutes have been increased for second quarter. PLEASE READ 70 MINUTES EACH WEEK. This begins Friday afternoon through the next Friday morning. Please try to find 10-15 minutes each night for your child to practice reading at home.

Tiger Pride and a bus safety assembly will also take place on Wednesday.

Next Friday, November 2nd, is our Fall Party. Please contact Kim Caird if you would like more information.

Don't forget the 2nd and 3rd grade musical is Thursday, November 8th. Students have been practicing for their performance and it will be cute! Here is the information from Mrs.Kuchta:

The WOHE 2nd/3rd grade has been eagerly preparing for their upcoming musical Squirm! which will take place on Thursday, November 8th at 7:00 in the WOHE commons area. The students are SO excited to share their hard work and preparation with you. This evening is sure to be filled with laughter and fun! You don't want to miss it! Students who have speaking parts and/or solo's will need to have ALL of their lines memorized by THIS Friday, Oct. 26th. Students who are requiring a costume of sorts were given information on this to take home about 3 weeks ago. I have had a few parents contact me with questions regarding this. PLEASE feel free to get a hold of me if you have questions or concerns. ALL costumes need to be done and dropped off in the WOHE music room by Monday, November 5th will the child's name tagged to it somewhere. Students who do not have a specific role as a soloists, speaker, or character (without speaking parts) are the backbone of this performance as they serve as important choir members. These students need to wear their WOHE Wednesday black t-shirts for the performance!! Click here to read a copy of the parent letter that went home on Oct. 4th with students who were selected for speaking parts, solos, etc.

We will be continuing our unit on Government next week. The students have now learned about the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, U.S. symbols, National Anthem and the 3 Branches of Government. Ask your child about some of the facts they have learned.

We are starting a new math unit on time and measurement. Practice telling time at home during random times of the day. By the end of third grade, they should be able to tell time to the nearest five minutes.
