SPELLING WORDS : button, collect, lesson, problem, subject, suddenly, except, basket.
The end of our first trimester is on December 1, 2022. Each student will have a Standards Based Progress Report available that will share with families an update of their child's academic achievement. Over the last several years we have moved away from traditional grading and report cards to a standards focused approach. The grade that is shared is an indicator of how the student is doing on district defined standards that students should know and be able to do by the end of a specific grade level in a specific subject area. On December 7, 2022, the school will notify you when these will be available for you to view with directions on how to access them in Skyward. If your family does not have access or would prefer to have a copy printed, the school will send you more information on how to get a paper copy. With the school year being 1/3 done on Friday I'd like the students to increase their nightly reading from 20 minutes to 25 minutes per night. Also by now my goal is that they have mastered the multiplication facts of 2-5. No classes on Friday December 2.

NO SPELLING LIST THIS WEEK
At this time of the year it's always good to reflect on how are lives are blessed and give thanks for what we have. As I walk into our new elementary school I'm constantly reminded of how fortunate I am to work in such a beautiful setting. I'm also fortunate to have such a wonderful class of students who care about one another and give me their best each day. On the first day of school I told the students that they were a special group and they are living up to that statement. I am not in school this week so please remind your child of your expectations of them while they have a sub in my place. Have a great Thanksgiving break! Spelling Words: circus, summer, serve, occur, return, thirteen, dangerous, caterpillar.
This week we will start the book bags again. If there is a short week I won't be sending home the books. Please pack them up and return by Thursday. Next week we only have two days of classes so there will not be a Spelling list. I will also be gone and have a sub. Please send notes of any changes that your child may be doing if needed. Also please remind your child of your expectations when I am gone. SPELLING WORDS: alarm, charge, starving, forgot, import, ornament, forward, carnivore.
Lots of changes in the weather are coming and I reminded the class to be prepared with their winter clothing. If I were you I would label the inside of your child's snow pants, coat and gloves with their name. Items are costly and you would not believe the lost and found department each year at our school with these items. New flashcards are coming out this week. It's the set of 6. So far your child has been given their 2,3,4,5's. Please quiz them often on their facts. We've been talking about fables and how each one ends with a moral (a lesson learned). At the dinner table share with your child a story from your youth and a lesson you learned from it. |
