Homework packets went home today.  We are working on the ar spelling pattern.  Remember to have fun with the spelling pattern and try to make new words.  Also point out the pattern if you see it in words the children are reading.  Soon they will notice it too.  In science we are wrapping up the matter unit.  We will be taking a test later this week.  I will review with them in class.  We just started working on magnets.  If you have magnets at home please have your child explore what the magnet will attract to.  We did some exploring today and had a lot of fun with it.  There will be a second math test soon.  It will be very similar to the first test.  I know the tests are close together, but it just expands on what we have been working on.  It does cover more story problems.  Just like last time, I will send home similar questions so your child has a good feel for the format of the test.

Please remember to check your child’s reading journal in the reading bag.  If your child does not complete the questions in class it is homework.

Halloween is quickly approaching.  Our parade will take place Monday, October 31, 2016 at 2:00p.m.  Your child may bring a costume in a bag to school on Monday.  Wear regular clothes to school.  We will change into our costumes shortly before the parade.  If your child would like to bring a treat to share that would be great!

PTA is selling raffle tickets for Halloween treat baskets.  Tickets are $1.00.  There will be one winner for each grade level.  Ticket money is due Thursday.
