Yearbook order forms are coming home today.  You pay order and pay online at ybpay.lifetouch.com.  Our code is 9918419.  Or you may fill out the order form and send in the payment to school.  All orders must be placed by November 19th.

Penny Wars Starts TODAY!

Instead of a fall fundraising sale, Snow PTA is having a Penny War between the classes.  Each classroom will complete to see who has the most points.  Pennies and bills added to your classroom’s jug will ADD points.  Silver coins – nickels, dimes and quarters – added to a jug SUBTRACT points.  (So put those in with another class.)  Collection jugs will be located outside the office.  The winning class will receive a special prize.

Penny Wars continues through Nov. 16.  We will post periodic updates on the blog and the PTA Facebook page (open to all parents and staff).  Start sending that loose change!

Reminder that there is NO SCHOOL tomorrow (Tuesday 11/6) due to Election Day.

Reminder that Parent Teacher Conferences are this Thursday 11/8, next Tuesday 11/13, and next Thursday 11/15.  Please check your reminder slip or my earlier post on this blog for your correct date and time.  It is important to be on time:)  Report cards will be passed out and discussed at conferences.

Our class will be starting Module 2 (Unit Conversions and Problem Solving with Metric Measurement) in Eureka Math this week.  Please check the blog for posts on Parent Tip Newsletters to help your child at home.

To check your child’s spelling test that we take every Friday, have your child log on to iLearn from a home computer and they can show you their test on the computer/tablet.  Simply go to dearbornschools.org and click on iLearn.  Your child will have to enter their student number and password.  Students also have activities to complete each week for spelling.  They are given time in class, however they can also complete these activities at home.  If the activities are not completed in class by Thursday, students must complete them at home.

Thank you to all of the families that donated items for our Halloween party last week.  It was a huge success!

The Math Quiz taken last Friday will be coming home today.  Please go over the test with your child so you can review what they did right and what they struggled with.  There will not be a retake opportunity.  We will be taking an End of Module Math test this Thursday over everything we have done in Module 1 since the beginning of the year which includes estimating by rounding, comparing (<, >, =), addition, subtraction, tape diagrams, word problems.  Please use students’ Exit Tickets, checked and returned Homework sheets, and the students’ Learn Math books to help study for the test.

There will be a Social Studies Vocabulary quiz tomorrow (Tuesday).  Students can use their S.S. notebooks that have word cards #1-34 glued in, or they can use the Quizlet practice website which can be accessed through my Google Classroom.  Students have already been studying in class on Quizlet.

We will building chain reactions in Science on Thursday.  Students may bring in items from home to be part of their team’s chain reaction.  Suggested items are dominoes, toy cars, things that roll or can be knocked down.  All items will be returned after the team’s chain reactions have been tested.

Reminder that the Book Fair is today through Wednesday.  Our class will be visiting the Book Fair TOMORROW from 9:25-9:45 a.m.  Please send money to school with your child tomorrow if they plan on purchasing items from the book fair.  Otherwise, students and families can visit the book fair after school on Monday and Tuesday.

Reminder that Wednesday, October 31st is Halloween.  Students may wear their costumes to school.  They will NOT be able to change into their costumes at school since we only have one bathroom.  Students are not allowed to wear masks or makeup and they may not bring any weapons to school.  Thank you to the families that have signed up to bring in treats for our afternoon Halloween party.  The link is below:
