Curriculum
With all of the extra activities that took place this past week, we are just reeling and trying to play “catch-up”. Our Wild West exploration will wrap up with a closer look at cowboys and cowgirls and the many challenges that came with this very important job. Students will be taking a look at some fiction and non-fiction books that will give them a better idea of some of the tools that were and still are necessary for cowboys/cowgirls to do their job. During our writing time, we will be taking a closer look at writing informational paragraphs and proofreading skills as well.
Math will allow us to look a closer look at numbers up to 100. Students will better understand place value and will be able to compare 2-digit numbers by the end of the week. We are continuing our work with getting those addition facts memorized….keep practicing!
With the very important holiday of Veterans Day quickly approaching, our Social Studies time will be spent focusing on our veterans and why they are so important in both the history of our country and the future of this wonderful land!

Upcoming Events
This next week should be a bit calmer without dress up days and Halloween. We will, however, be celebrating a very important holiday together on Friday, November 6th. There will be a Veteran’s Day Program on this day at 1:00 pm in the Emden Elementary Gym to help recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our very valuable veterans. Everyone is invited and we encourage everyone to wear red, white, and blue.
Have a great weekend and a safe Halloween!
