Dear Parents: Because we have had such little time this week, I will not be giving the Spelling Test on Friday. Students will be expected to finish the Tic Tac Toe activities, but they are always allowed to do that in class. I will give a new list of words next week. Thank you!
Dear Parents: The Spelling words for this week are: churn, burn, burst, turn, clerk, third, bird, first, dirt, thirst. Thank you for all of your help with NWEA preparation. All students did very well.
Another note for all is that I have asked that books from home from the series Dog Man, Big Nate, and Diary of a Whimpy Kid be left at home except Fridays only. While entertaining, these books are not challenging students to improve their Reading skills. Thank you, and have a great week!
Dear Parents: We will begin the NWEA Testing for Math tomorrow. Again, please make sure students go to bed early, in order to be well rested, and that they eat a healthy breakfast. These scores are particularly important to show improvement and growth from the Fall scores. Thank you for all of your help in preparing the students.
Dear Parents: I plan to begin NWEA Testing on Wednesday or Thursday. We will begin with Math. Please make sure that students are well rested, and that they eat a healthy breakfast. This testing will be much more difficult than it was in the Fall, so please continue to help students on Prep Dog, and please make sure that they are getting enough sleep. The NWEA Packets must be turned in no later than this week to earn the prize.
The Spelling List for this week is: part, park, start, dark, sort, fort, short, horse, more, jar.
Dear Parents: Yesterday, I sent home the Math and Reading Packets for NWEA. I will send home an extra Reading Packet today. This level may be a bit challenging for some students, but it will still be good practice. Thank you for helping your child prepare for these difficult tests!
Dear Parents: We have a busy week ahead. Today I will be passing NWEA packets for Reading and Math. PLEASE, PLEASE work with your child on these during the vacation. The NWEA testing will begin the second week of January, and I am concerned that the students will not score well unless they practice and review during the vacation. Students will receive a prize for returning these packets to me in January.
The Winter Party will be on Friday, December 21. Any items that you signed up to contribute, may be sent in with students on, or before that day.
The last Spelling List of 2018 is: each, which, match, patch, such, dish, wish, path, teeth, with. Thank you!
Dear Parents: The Spelling List this week is chill, chest, chest, sheep, shape, think, thing, while, wheat, white.
Today I will send home the sign up sheet for the Winter Party. As always, I prefer water bottles, healthy snacks, etc. However, some sweet treats are acceptable too. I also usually need plates/napkins/plasticware. The Winter Party will be on Friday, December 21. The students will be passing their own treats, and watching a movie. Thank you for your snack/drink contributions!
Dear Parents: The Spelling List for this week is: meat, seat, mean, bean, queen, seen, beet, feet, baby, pony. There will be a Math Test for Module 3 on Friday. I will be sending home the Study Guide with all the correct answers today. The only Math Homework this week will be to review and practice the Study Guide. Thank you.
Information about the Winter Party will be coming out soon.
Dear Parents: I just wanted to mention that I save most student work, such as writing, booklets, Science/Social Studies activities, etc. until the end of the year. I have everything on display in the classroom for when we have visitors, principals, and other guests in our building. Visitors love seeing this collection of work, and how students have improved throughout the year. I will pass everything back in June. I will always pass back tests right away. Thank you!
Dear Parents: Nothing too much to report this week. I hope everyone enjoyed the vacation.
The Spelling List for this week is: grow, crow, low, mow, toe, goes, doe, foam, soap, toast.
