Hello Parents,

Just a reminder that we have a busy last week of October coming up.
We will start our day with an Open House on Friday ~ October 31st from 8:10-8:40. All parents are invited, please bring your child with you.
At 9:30 we will have our annual Halloween Parade which parents can watch from outside in front of Cole School.
We will have our Class Party following the parade. Please send in any party items by 9:30 on the 31st. Thanks so much for your donations. The party is for the students only.
Finally remember the 31st will be an Early Release day at 1:15.


We have been very busy learning about Fact Families. Please enjoy Lauren and Madie showing what they know about fact families.

Operations & Algebraic Thinking

Add and subtract within 20.

6. Add and subtract within 20, demonstrating fluency for addition and subtraction within 10. Use strategies such as counting on; making ten (e.g., 8 + 6 = 8 + 2 + 4 = 10 + 4 = 14); decomposing a number leading to a ten (e.g., 13 – 4 = 13 – 3 – 1 = 10 – 1 = 9); using the relationship between addition and subtraction (e.g., knowing that 8 + 4 = 12, one knows 12 – 8 = 4); and creating equivalent but easier or known sums (e.g., adding 6 + 7 by creating the known equivalent 6 + 6 + 1 = 12 + 1 = 13).

Sad News

                                                           

Hello parents,
I just wanted to let you know that my mother passed away on October 4, 2014. She came to live with me after my father passed away on May 8, 2014. The boys and girls have been asking me why I have been out of school. I was absent on October 2nd and 3rd and then again on October 10th and 14th. I have not told them because I don't want them to worry about such things. However, I thought you might like to know as it is unusual for me to be out of school. My parents lived wonderful lives into their eighties and for that I can celebrate. However, it is sad and I do miss them.
I am back in school today.
Thank you,
Kim
