Parent Teacher Conferences are here! They will be held the week of November 5th, with the common conference night being on Wednesday November 8th. We have a new sign up system this year- it is all online. First, download the SOuthmoor App! Then,  go to the Southmoor app.
From the Southmoor App: 
From the Menu, choose Parent Teacher Confrences and follow the prompts. 

I promise, it's super easy! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Ps:
There is also a web link for those parents who have Nokia phones, here is the web link : https://webapp.mobileappco.org/m/southmoor/
 
This week in phonics students will:
- Spell and encode pattern words with aw/ô/, awn/ôn/, all/ôl/, aul/ôl/, al/ôl/
-Identify meanings and correct spellings of homonyms
Spell memory words from their week 4 homework list
 
Ask your child to identify the /ô/ sound in the following words: saw, claw, fawn, yawn, ball, call, haul, fault, salt, almost, always
 
In Literacy, students will read Snowshoe Thomson in guided reading groups. Comprehension skills they will focus on this week are:
-Determine important ideas: Good reader’s ask themselves questions before, during and after reading so that they understand what they have read.
-Sequence events or steps
-Summarizing- Good readers summarize the story after they have read, so they don’t forget important details.
 
Ask your child to sequence the steps that Danny and Snowshoe Thompson did when making the skis. Ask your child the importance of the letter that Danny wrote.
 
In math, students are learning about arrays. Students are learning how to make rectangular arrays, understanding how many tiles are in each row, column and the total number of tiles in each array. We have been making arrays with our bodies on the carpet. Ask your child: If I have 25 tiles how many rows and columns will I have in my array? If I have an array with 3 columns and 2 rows, how many total tiles will I have?
 
 
The kids received their first pen pal letter from second graders in San Francisco and are so very excited! We are working on writing our first letter back this week. Most of the students have never seen snow, but they can see the city right out their classroom window! We have received over 100 postcards, had to buy a new bigger map and will rehang them all this week! Thank you so very much. This is just incredible!
