On Monday, October 31st your child can bring a snack to school for our holiday party. In the afternoon we'll have time to watch a movie and eat our snack. On Friday our school year will be 1/4 over! We are right on track with our lessons, and I must let you know that the pace will be picking up in all areas. Please remind your child to be reading each night and also to be working on their flashcards. The book bag books went home last week and nearly half the class forgot to bring it back on Thursday. This was discussed at Parent Teacher Conferences of sending the bag home on Monday and returning it on Thursday. Please help your child remember on Wednesday night to place it in their backpack.

I always enjoy the time after Parent Teacher conference week because I always see a huge change in the students. This group has started off strong, but I also see a great change in attitudes among the group. It's a good change and I foresee some wonderful days ahead. We just finished Unit 1 in Math and I was impressed with the results. Your child should have brought home their test last week with the results. Unit 2 continues with multiplication story problems. Please continue to help your child with their flashcards daily until they master their facts. In Reading we are discussing how a character can shape a story. Take time to discuss different characters and how they make a story more exciting. This week we are trying the "BOOK BAGS." The bag was discussed at Parent Teacher Conferences. The bag goes home on Monday and should be returned on Thursday. Please try to keep track of the books by returning them to the bag each night your child reads them. There is a piece of tagboard with questions that you can verbally ask your child as they read the book. Books may be below, at , or above your child's reading level so keep that in mind as they go through the books. Finally, I just have to say that this group of parents are truly a blessing. Together we are an important part of your child's future. I am so glad we are on the same page with expectations. What a great time we had last week at Parent Teacher Conferences! It was a very productive time and I look forward to meeting the remainder of the parents this Tuesday. Thank you again for being on time and also for your kind words. It meant a lot to me.
No Spelling list this week. No school on Thursday or Friday. Have your child reading for at least 40 minutes daily over break and going over their flashcards. SPELLING WORDS: really, either, cheese, monkey, only, piece, compete, medium
Parent Teacher Conferences are on Thursday afternoon and evening this week and also next Tuesday. Please be on time for your conference as they are set up by appointment. I am booked solid so I will have to on time for my next one after you. If we need more time we can always continue it on the phone. If anyone chooses to do the conference using Google Hangouts you should have received directions from the school district on that process. A link from me will be provided. If you choose that option your conference will not start until your designated time. So in other words, be patient while waiting in the waiting room of Google Hangouts. I'll be going over details on how your child is doing so far and also we'll talk about goals for your child for the rest of the year. I'm very excited to see you again. Our time at Open House in September was way too short of a time to visit. |
