Next week:
This week:
In math we began studying teen numbers. Here is a link to a song that we listened to in class. It is very helpful for kids who are still not sure what teen numbers look like. We are working on putting the numbers in the correct order, 19, not 91, and trying to make our numbers face the correct way.
In writing the class wrote Halloween stories. While some children wrote their own, some drew pictures while Ms. Kelly and I wrote what they dictated to us. We were working on having a beginning, middle, and end.
In reading, we have worked on ABC order. We have practiced putting letters in the order that we say the ABCs. This is definitely tricky for some so we will keep practicing. We added we, go, to to our sight word list. The tutors started assessing the class for reading levels. When they are done with the whole class, we will adjust the Kids A-Z/RAZ kids levels online and start sending more tailored books home to read. We also worked on understanding what we read by trying to use details in stories to make pictures that go with what we read. We put Halloween stories in order too. The kids brought home a Frankenstein foldable today. Inside we retold One Halloween Night in pictures.
Thanks to Mrs. Paterno and Mrs. Grady for doing GRACE Art with us on Monday. You probably noticed the self-portraits that came home on Monday. (Pictures under special guest album.)
Here are some pictures from Friday afternoon's festivities. A huge thanks to all the parents who volunteered to help change kids and set up the snack/party.

- We have mass on Monday at 10:45. You are welcome to join us.
- Because we have mass during our regular library time, we will not be able to go to the library until Thursday. Library books are due on Thursday.
- Walk for the homeless is on Thursday too.
HTS Mini-Walk for the Homeless
WHO: Holy Trinity School Community (Students, Staff, Parents, etc!)
WHAT: Assembly and Mini-Walk for the Homeless
WHEN: Thursday, Nov. 5th. Assembly begins at 8:15 am in Trinity Hall, followed by the Walk
WHERE: Trinity Hall (the new Multi-Purpose Room) and a walk around the neighborhood
WHY: To benefit N Street Village, a shelter for women in Washington, DC
Use the following link to donate:
Donations are optional -- everyone will participate in the walk.
- Friday is a 1:00 day. Please let me know if your child will be in aftercare.
- In November we will be focusing on service to others (Walk for the Homeless, leading McKenna sandwiches on November 18, bake sale for Haiti). Kindergarten does not participate in TAG days, so this Wednesday we will have a bake sale at school for our class Service Learning Project- Haiti. Please email me if you would like to send in a treat to sell. It would be great to have most students participate. We will have speakers from the parish come talk about Haiti the following week.
- Thursday is Bruno's birthday. Please wish him a happy birthday if you see him!
- I will begin Parent-Teacher Conferences next week. I sent home a reminder this week if I have you scheduled next week. Please email me if your time no longer works.
- Show and tell next week is something that starts with an S.
