Hello Everyone,

I want to thank everyone who was able to come out last night for a wonderful Open House. If you were unable to make it, I hope you can stop by after school soon. Our first spelling test is coming home today. You will notice that there are two sections of the test. The first section is the 10 words the students have worked with all week. The second section is made up of 5 words that fit the spelling patterns they have learned. For our spelling work, the homework will consist of the following activities weekly:

Monday- Define each work neatly on a piece of paper and write down the page number of the dictionary used. If an online source is used such as dictionary.com, please write down the website you used for your work.

Tuesday-Write a descriptive sentence for each spelling word. Please write neatly and underline each word.

Wednesday- Write a short story and include a minimum of 8 spelling words. Write neatly and underline each word.

Thursday- Study your list and the spelling pattern to prepare for the test.

Friday-No spelling homework.

The Last two things I want to note are P.T.O. and Band/Strings related. If you are interested in your student being in band, please fill out the blue forms that went home last week and return them with any associated costs/payments towards the payment plan. Students often want to start playing an instrument after they see the other students playing and once they have progressed in the class, students are unable to join. Please talk with your child if you are interested in having them play. Secondly, the Nowlin P.T.O. is sending home t-shirt order forms for Nowlin t-shirts. If you are ordering, please send these back on Monday. Please also consider joining the P.T.O. if you haven’t already. Every dollar raised from the $5.00 cost of joining goes directly back to something for the students.

Everyone have a great weekend!
