- A note from Mrs Cote: October 31st in MMUUSD - We value opportunities to celebrate learning and community with our students, and as part of our district’s focus on inclusivity and belonging, MMUUSD recognizes that not every family celebrates Halloween, and not every family celebrates holidays in the same way. Out of respect to our students' cultural, economic, social and religious differences, our schools do not celebrate Halloween, and we ask that staff and students leave costumes and candy at home.
- Picture Retake Day: Picture Retake Day for those who request and those who were absent on the original day is tomorrow, Tuesday, October 31st.
- HOMEWORK? Right now for homework, students should be reading for 20 minutes a day at home. I am not sending home word study homework at this time.
- NOVEMBER LUNCH MENU HERE is the lunch menu for the month of November! Your child will also bring home a paper copy in their backpacks this week!

- Fun Friday: We will have a Fun Friday each month of the school year. This month, we had Mismatch Day. Be on the lookout for more Fun Friday Themes!
Third Grade: Third grade math students are becoming more comfortable with the concept of multiplication. They began to learn the basics of division and how it is related to multiplication. Students worked to write multiplication and division story problems this week. They are recording their problems on a fun program called FlipGrid where they can share their word problems with each other. See our videos HERE. We finished Unit 1 and will begin Unit 3 Addition and Subtraction this week.
Fourth Grade: Fourth graders have been using what they know about multiplication to solve division problems with two digit dividends and one digit divisors. They also have been practicing interpreting remainders in the context of story problems. Next week, students will write/ solve their own division problem and share with their classmates using a program called Flip Grid.
Reading: We are reading the book The One And Only Bob by Katherine Applegate as a class. It has been fun to talk about character traits and share a story together. Students have begun meeting in small reading groups with me.
Spelling: We have begun spelling and spelling groups. We learned when to us a/an, how to spell and use there (vs their and they're), and a special way to remember could, would, should (ask your child). Students also reviewed when to use ch vs tch.
Writing: We decorated our Writer's Notebooks and finished up our Spooky Stories. This week we are beginning writing narratives.
