I’m looking forward to seeing you at Open House tonight ! Today your child brought home a reading log attached to the middle of their Everyday Folder.  Please keep it attached so that it does not get lost.  Your child should read at least 20 minutes each day.  I will collect the completed log on Thursdays, and attach a new one.  Your child should also be studying the spelling words each week.  Tomorrow is the Lesson 2 test.  The words are in your child’s folder and on Spelling City.  If your child did not return the smokehouse permission slip, please return in tomorrow.

Thank you to Hutaph Jadallah as she has volunteered to be a room parent. Please sign up tonight if you can also volunteer.  Thanks.

Hopefully, everyone will have a chance to subscribe to our class blog by the end of the week by entering an email address;  Today your child brought home a note about our first field trip. Please get in a family picture if your child has not brought one in.  The community activity is due September 15.  Tomorrow is the first spelling test.  I hope your child has had a chance to do spelling city for practice.  In math today, we went to the website ABCYa.com and played the telling time game.  Please encourage your child to work on telling time by the hour, half hour, and quarter hour.  If you would like to send in some supplies, some ideas include:  band-aides, gallon size zipped bags and sandwich size zip-locked bags.  Thanks in advance for your donations.

It was great to meet the new students and parents today.  I am looking forward to a great year.  A class letter went home today along with many other forms to be completed.  I will be adding more to the blog as the year gets underway!

I was rereading the post I sent yesterday.  I was referencing Study Island not Spelling Island.  I hope your child will use it this summer.

Thanks for all the ice cream sundae items!  We had terrific sundaes. We also performed some puppet shows today!

Thanks again for a great year!

Thanks for all of your support this year.  I have enjoyed working with you and your child.  Please continue to have your child read this summer.  It would be great if you get a public library card and join one of the reading incentive program.  Have your child review the basic addition and subtraction facts.  Also work on the multiplication facts up to five.  In addition, get a notebook and encourage some writing!

There are many websites for review such as Spelling Island.  I sent home your child’s password and username earlier.  ( Your child has memorized the username as they use it in the computer lab.  The password is your child’s first name.)   I have opened up all the math practices (24 of them) and the language arts practices (31 of them).  Also you may continue to use spelling city and everyday math.  Other good websites include  ReadWorks.com and Mobymax.com.

Enjoy your summer!

Tomorrow we will finish cleaning our desks so it would be helpful to have a backpack and an additional big bag to transport things home.  Thanks.

Monday we will be viewing Charlotte’s Web.  I read it to the class and we just finished it this week.  Please send in a healthy snack and lunch as usual.  You may send it a snack and drink for the movie as we will view it after lunch.

Tuesday is the PBIS Award and the students will receive popsicles.

Wednesday is Field Day and Relay for Life.

For Thursday  the class is earning ice cream sundaes!  Today we made a list of toppings and we had volunteers choose an item to bring in.  Thanks in advance for your help.

Enjoy the weekend!

Today your child is bringing home a green folder with the science study guide and other completed science items along with the science book to review for the test on Friday.  Please complete and review the study guide with your child and sign.  Return the study guide along with the book on Friday.  Thanks.

Tomorrow please send in a healthy snack as usual and lunch as usual!

At the end of the day, the students will be having pizza as a reward for their behavior and as a reward for their reading for the Book IT each month this year.  The pizza will be provided, but your child may bring in a juice box or pop to drink.

Thanks!

This is a busy week!  Today your child has the week 37 spelling words. The words are on spelling city to review as needed and the test is Friday.

Tomorrow the social studies Unit 6 study guide that was sent home last week is due.  We will discuss it tomorrow and send it back home as the District test is this Wednesday, June 4, in the computer lab.

Today your child is bringing home Unit 11 math study guide.  It needs to be completed and returned on Thursday, June 5 and the test is also on Thursday.

The Science Unit review will be coming home this Wednesday and the test will be Friday, June 6.

These will be the last tests for the year.
