Thank you to those parents that already attended parent teacher conferences last week.  The remainder of the class has a scheduled conference either this Wednesday, November 16th or Thursday, November 17th.  Please refer to the previous email with dates and times that families have already signed up for.  Please arrive at your scheduled time.  If you are late, you will have to wait until I have an opening in the schedule.

We have completed the unit in S.S. on the U.S. in Spatial Terms.  We will begin the next unit on Human Geography of the U.S. this week.

We have completed the unit in Science on Heat, Electricity, and Magnetism.  We will begin the next unit on Properties and Changes of Matter this week.

Please continue to have your child read every night and fill in their Weekly Reading Log.  All logs are to be turned in every MONDAY.  It is your child’s responsibility to go onto MyOn to record his/her current Lexile Score.  If you are unable to do this at home, your child needs to take the responsibility to look it up during the Listen to Reading time during Daily 5.

We will begin our monthly PBIS celebrations the end of November.  In order for students to attend the November celebration, they can have no more than 3 card flips for the entire month and no ODR referrals to the office.  Students who do not earn the privilege of attending the celebration will be participating in a re-thinking group of how to change their behavior for the December celebration.

Just a reminder that there is no school Wednesday, November 23- Friday, November 25 due to the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Snow School Skate Night is scheduled for Tuesday, November 22nd.  More information will be sent home soon from the PTA.
