Your child’s math test has been sent home, please sign and return.  Thanks so much!

Hang out and watch a movie  in the Snow school gym tonight at 6:30 pm.  Bake sale and Book Fair will be taking place as well.  Your child will bring their book “wishlist” home tonight.

A math test study guide has been sent home. Please have your child do it on their own then check it together so you can see where they need extra help. We will review it tomorrow in class and the test will be given on Monday December 9th.

Just a reminder, book orders are due tomorrow.   Parent Teacher Conferences begin again Wednesday and Thursday. Also, they have added spelling homework, I’ll go over it with them tomorrow and send it home then as well.  We could  use some  yellow wood pencils and glue sticks if anyone can donate to the class it would be greatly appreciated.

Have a Great Night,

Mrs. Kearney

Today they have been asked to collect some leaves and put them in a plastic baggie so that they can make a leaf animal.  Also math homework has been sent and tomorrow is there spelling test.

Math tests were sent home today.  Please sign and return them tomorrow.  Also, book bags will be refreshed next week.  Last week they practiced all week on the Halloween Play they were in and this week  is being spent assessing.

There is no school tomorrow (11-5-13) and Friday the 8th is a half day.  Please dress your child in a warm coat on these colder days because they do go outside for recess. Also be sure write the title of the book your child read on the reading log, as well as your signature. I will be sending math tests home this week, please sign and return them.  Thanks for all your support and have a nice evening.

Thank you moms and dads who were here to help on Halloween, it really is appreciated.

Conferences begin next Thursday, the 14th. They then pick back up the week after that on the 20th and 21st of the month.  I will be sending reminders home a few days before your date with the time you had signed up for. Some parents didn’t sign up at Open House so I will be sending home a scheduled time, if it doesn’t work just let me know and we can adjust.

Sorry: I’m sorry, I didn’t pass out their spelling homework. I’ll put it on their desks so they can pack it up first thing in the morning.  If you would like them to write the words tonight instead of tomorrow they can be found on my blog under spelling list, otherwise they can do it tomorrow for homework.  Speaking of spelling, almost 100% improvement from every student on Friday’s test compared to the last test they took.  I am so happy for them.

I’d like to say a big Thank You to all the parents who chaperoned on our field trip last week.  The students had a great time and so did we.  Again,  “Thank You” for being a part of their school memories.

Halloween Party this Thursday: A note went home with all the details but here is a recap. Bring costume in a bag and they will change into them at 2:30 and the parade around the school will begin at 2:45.  We were told no masks or make-up. There is a sign up sheet by our classroom door for donations, if you can’t come in to sign up feel free to email me at kearneb@dearbornschools.org and I can fill your name in.  2 people are needed to bring in cheese, fruit, vegetables, crackers, dip for veggies, and juice boxes (10 per volunteer). One person for cupcakes or cookies, 1 person for plates, and 1 person for napkins.  We have a total of 20 students.  You may send in candy that has wrappers on it and have your child pass them out.  You are also welcome to come join us at 2:30 in room 29.  Hope to see you then:)

Math:We have just started counting money and the students do really well counting just pennies or just nickles but today we started counting combinations of nickles and pennies.  This is difficult for some students. We start with the highest value coin (nickle) and count from there. Many have a hard time transitioning from counting by fives to counting by ones once they go to the pennies. They want to keep counting by fives.  We worked hard today trying to master that skill.  However, it is a skill that will take a lot of practice for some so if your child is having a hard time, keep practicing it over the next few days.  We will be taking a test next Monday and they will have to know how to count a nickle and penny combination. Keep the combinations under 15 cents.

Dear Parents,

If you have received a Weapons Form or a Concussion Form you must fill it out because I have not received one back from you or it has been lost in transit.  The concussion form is simply explaining what a concussion is and what the symptoms are and letting you know you will be notified if your child shows signs or symptoms of one after a head injury. If it is not signed and returned your child cannot participate in recess, gym, field trips and any other physical activities that may take the child outside or in the gym to perform.

Field Trip is Wednesday, please dress your child according to the weather as we will be outdoors.  Make sure your student is on time for school that day.  These parents have volunteered:

• Terra Hassan
• Lynette Paddock
• Almirian Carrion
• Jennifer Deckert
• Rita Dagher (riding the bus)

Chaperons please arrive to our classroom at 9:00 so that I can give you your list of students  and any other information that may be needed about the trip. Thank you in advance for your help.  If I have missed anyone who has volunteered please let me know.

Enjoy your Evening,

Mrs. Kearney
