Listening, Learning and Laughing in Room 202

Another beautiful fall weekend but where did the month of October go???? I enjoyed all the hardwork our PTA did for last week's Red Ribbon Celebration. On Wednesday, November 2, we will have the Unit 3 Math test. Studyguides will be coming home Monday and Tuesday. Our Reading Street story is one of my favorites, I Wanna Iguana. It is a story about a boy who tries to persuade his mother to let him have a pet iguana. We will be writing a persuasive letter to our parents this week. I know you'll enjoy reading them.
Our spelling words all will end in -le.
handle, trouble, simple, people, middle, table, little, gentle, poodle, pickle, noodle, saddle, juggle, uncle, riddle.
Until next week.
