Smile for the camera!  Picture Day is Tuesday, October 28.

The math test is scheduled for this Friday, and I know all of you will do fabulous!  I will send home another review sheet for students to complete.  Please have them complete it first and then check your child’s work to see if they did it correctly with the answers provided.  If they are having difficulties on any of the problems, please take a few minutes to review with them and you could write me a note on the top of the review sheet.  If you write me a note, I will review the material with them before the test.  Thanks for being supportive parents!

Book orders went home yesterday.  Ordering books is a great way to encourage your child to read at home and to show them how you think reading is very important.  If you would like your child to order books, please return the form completely filled out with the money by Friday, October 17.  Happy Reading!

Way to go room 112!  Almost everyone passed their “Math in a Flash” test today…..YEAH!   I can tell you practiced your flashcards or you played the games on the internet that I gave you to help you add numbers quickly together.  You guys rock!  If your child passed their “Math in a Flash” test today, they brought home new flash cards to practice for the test next week.  If they did not pass, your child will continue to practice the flash cards I gave them last week.  When your child passes the test, I will give them new flash cards to use.  I challenge everyone to pass the test next week.  I know you can do it room 112 because you guys are rock stars!

Some of the students have been losing their spelling words.  I will post them each week on this blog in case your child has lost them.  Please practice the words every night.  Also, you will need them for Thursdays homework.

A great big thanks goes out to the following parents who chaperoned our trip to the Dearborn Fire Safety House last Thursday…..Rewa’s mom, Aya’s mom, Fatima N’s dad, and Michael’s dad!   It was a great field trip because it allowed the children to practice getting out of a house if it is burning.  I hope they will never have to use the skills they learned last week!

We will be having a “Late Start” day this Wednesday.  School will begin at 9:00.  Enjoy your extra hour of sleep:)
