It's been so nice to be back to our regular schedule this week, but its funny how quickly we fall out of a routine. It has taken some extra work for us to get back into a groove! Speaking of getting into a routine, we had a great Healthy Habits week learning about how to take care of our minds and bodies. Thank you for encouraging these great habits at home too!
We dove deep into computation this week as we studied the properties of multiplication. As the numbers have gotten bigger, students are realizing how useful the strategies we've learned can be. Now is a great time to start memorizing multiplication facts! The rain might have postponed the Tritt-Mazing Race, but we will be ready to put our best paws forward on Wednesday. Please meet us on the track at 9:55 on Wednesday to cheer on Cook's Cougars in the Tritt-Mazing Race! Here is a look at what's ahead for next week: Reading: Finding the Main Idea and Supporting Details Writing: Informational Writing Math: Distributive Property Social Studies: Map Skills STEAM: Recycling Project Vocabulary: lob, tremble, skeptic, propose, inflate Upcoming Dates: 10/30 = Tritt-Mazing Race 10/31 = Halloween Hat Day 11/4 - 11/15 = Tritt Community Food Drive

In just four short days, we surpassed our 4 goals for our annual fund raiser! The kids had a fun and chill extended recess eating popsicles and playing with their friends. We watched Aristocats with some yummy popcorn today too. More celebrations are coming next week for Goals 3 and 4. Do not forget that next Friday is Family Fun Night at Tritt too!
With all these celebrations, we have still made time to learn division strategies and finish up our unit on personal narratives this week. The quarter ends today and I am so pleased with where we are at 9 weeks into the school year. I look forward to bragging on your awesome kiddos to you at Parent-Teacher Conferences next week.
