News for the week

Today some children volunteered to bring an item for our Holiday Party this Wed. at 2:30.  I sent home a note with the item highlighted.  If you are unable to bring the item, it’s not a problem- just let me know.  If  you had already volunteered then I did not sent home a note today.  Thanks again to everyone for your support.

Today the students have their new spelling words. As usual the spelling city is due Friday and test will be Friday.

Hope the Social Studies is going well.  As a reminder, the study guide is due Wed. and the test is on Wednesday too.  Also the map is due Thursday.

We will be finishing up Math ch.4 this week.  The study guide will come home on Wed.  It will be due Friday and the test will be Friday.

Have a good week!

Spelling Week 10, Chapter 3 Math Review, Reading Log, Conferences

This week’s spelling words are irregular plurals.  I shared the cold words with the students today as the list words don’t have a common vowel pattern.  The cold words are man, men, woman, and women.

Your child is bringing home the chapter 3 math review.  It is due on Monday, November 21 and the test will be on Monday also. Please have your child complete it and review, then return it with a parent signature.  If it is completed tonight, keep it at home to review for Monday.

Please continue to have your child read each day  20 minutes.  The reading log sent home today will be due two weeks from today (December 5) because of  the Thankgiving Break.

We have had 100% participation for the first two nights of conferences and I am looking forward to seeing everyone today for the last evening of conferences this fall.  Thanks for your wonderful support!
