Students took their first Math Quiz last Friday.  I have graded the quiz and will be sending it home today.  Many students did an excellent job, but many students also failed the quiz with the grade of a 4.  Students who received a 4 will have to have a parent sign their test and return it by Wednesday.  I will be giving an optional Math Re-test tomorrow for students who scored lower than they should have.  Any student may retake the test.

Reminder that all students should be reading every night and filling out their Reading Logs with a parent initialing that the student read.  Also, parents should be signing Student Planners daily.  This is our main form of communication and it is important that parents check their child’s work regularly.

Thank you to the families that have already turned in their DTE Home Energy Think Worksheets.  Remember that families have until November 23rd to fill out these sheets and return them to class or you have the option of filling out the sheet online.  If all students return these sheets on time, our class will receive $100.00 to purchase items for OUR classroom.  We need everyone’s help!

Reminder that this Friday, October 12th is a HALF DAY.  Students will be dismissed at 11:45 a.m.
