October Class Calendar:
Each month, you'll receive a printed copy of the class calendar. You can also access it digitally HERE.
Fall/Halloween Party:
Our class Fall/Halloween party will be held on Thursday October 31! In our room, we do a variety of “centers” rather than a big party. For each party, I will need one parent to head the party and contact the other signed up parents to coordinate what each center will consist of. I will also need 3 or 4 other parents to help run each center. I will time the centers and make sure that things are running smoothly on the day of the party.
If you'd like to sign up for the Fall/Halloween Party, please leave your name on the sign up form HERE.

Friday Folders:
Please be sure to check your child's yellow take home folder each weekend, review the papers and completed work, empty out and sign the green "Week's Worth of Work" paper on the front cover of the folder. I will collect these sheets on Monday.
Parent-Teacher Conferences:
Conferences will be held beginning the first week of October. I will have results from the beginning of the year NWEA assessment and look forward to discussing your student with you. Please CLICK HERE to access the sign-up sheet to sign up for a date and time.
Honor Credit Union:
Last Friday, a representative from Honor Credit Union came to talk to our class about applying to be a teller at our school branch of Honor Credit Union! The credit union is open in the cross hall on Friday mornings. Student tellers will be responsible for helping to record deposits from fellow students under the supervision of an Honor Credit Union representative.
Applications for a teller position came home in the Friday Folders last Friday!
Walk-A-Thon:
Walk-a-Thon begins on Monday September 30!!
Walk-a-Thon packets were included in your Back to School Night packet last week (blue forms). We need your help! Walk-a-Thon is the ONLY fundraiser that Brown School does in order to raise money for everything extra that the PTO funds for our students. We would greatly appreciate any and all donations! Donation/Pledge forms can be turned in until Monday September 30.
Online donations are being accepted HERE.

What we are learning about this week:
Reading/ELA: We are continuing to work on building our reading and writing stamina! I am currently meeting with individual students to determine independent reading levels; we will begin our small groups within the next few weeks.
Math: During this first unit, we are working on reading and writing large numbers into the hundred-thousands place, learning different strategies for rounding and estimating numbers and working through multistep word problems.
It is very important to continue to work on solidifying those multiplication and division facts through 12! Being able to recall these facts will be very helpful as we work into our future math units.
You may have noticed that your child has been writing in the completed lessons into their planner at the end of the day so that you can complete the math homelink pages for practice (optional homework sent home 2 weeks ago - this is not required to be turned in and may be completed at your discretion).
Have a fantastic week!
Mrs. Hassenger
