Reminder that students must complete their Spelling iLearn activities by Friday.  Students are given time in class to complete the activities and may work on them at home as well in order to have them done by Friday.  Please check the iLearn course at home on Friday to see how your child did on the spelling test.

Reminder that parents should be using the Homework Helper sheets to assist your child with their math homework.  Look for Exit Tickets that have been completed independently in class to see if your child is understanding the concept.  It is your child’s responsibility to tear out the correct homework assignments, complete them at home, and return them to school the next day.

Reminder that all students should be reading the books in their Reading Bags every night.  Reading Bags must be brought back to school every day.

This Wednesday, October 3rd is our DTE Energy presentation.  Representatives from DTE will be coming to our class to talk about energy, which goes along with our current Science unit.  Students will be given a free Energy Kit to take home for the family.  We only ask that you take a few minutes to fill out the survey that will come home with the kit.  If all 25 families complete and return the survey, DTE will send our classroom a check for $100.00!  Last year, all of my students returned the survey and we used the $100.00 to buy the 5 new bean bags we currently have in our classroom.  Please help our classroom earn the $100.00!

Reminder that all Scholastic Book Club orders are due this Friday, October 5th.
