Dear Snow Families,
Snow School is launching a Read at Home Plan. With our new Book Room, every Snow student will go home with “Good Fit” Books daily! “Good fit” books are books that are not too hard and not too easy. The expectation is that students improve their reading skills and develop a love for reading.
Snow School Read at Home Plan
4th grade spelling words (long /a/ vowels): today, ache, estimate, phrase, trade, parade, became, arcade, education, glacier
Content words: geography, region, direction, transportation, landform
Due to Camp Pinewood, 5th graders do NOT have spelling words this week.
Both 4th and 5th grade will have a Math Assessment tomorrow Tuesday. 4th grade will be on identifying shapes based on their characteristics (parallel, perpendicular, angles), types of triangles (acute, obtuse, isosceles, equilateral, scalene). 5th grade will be evaluating expressions using PEMDAS and order of operations, prime/composite numbers, factors of a given number.
Please continue to send in BoxTops for the contest during the month of October.
Book Bingo is this Friday, October 6th. Doors open at 6:15 pm.
*I will be attending camp this Wednesday-Friday with my 5th grade students. There will be a substitute teacher in our classroom for the 4th graders and any 5th graders not going to camp. It is important that your child attend school all three of these days as the substitute will be continuing to teach the curriculum during my absence.
**5th graders need to arrive to school by 7:50 a.m. this Wednesday (October 4th) for camp. Drop your luggage off in the lobby, then head down to our classroom for attendance and check in. Any students that have medication, should have a parent/adult package it in a ziplock bag, clearly labeled with the students name and dosage, and turn it in directly to Ms. Shene. The bus is scheduled to leave at 8:15 a.m. Check the weather and pack accordingly with rain gear and warm clothes.
All 5th grade students who ordered a Class of 2018 shirt should wear it to school on Wednesday, October 4th for the bus ride and first day at Camp Pinewood!

Thank you to the Litton Family for donating popsicles to our classroom to keep cool on another hot day! They were refreshing and delicious!

Students will not be sent home spelling homework. We talk about the patterns after our pretest on Monday, and do 2-3 activities in class during the week in Word Work. However, if I notice that your child is not passing the weekly spelling tests, I will start sending homework for spelling for only those children that need the extra practice.
Our class will be completing our NWEA testing this week. A progress report with your child’s scores from September will be sent home next week after all testing is completed.
Important events:
Friday, October 6th – Book Bingo
Tuesday, October 17th – Picture Day
Wednesday, October 18th – Skate Night
October 23-27 Book Fair
ALL FORMS AND MONEY FOR 5th GRADE CAMP PINEWOOD ARE DUE THIS WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27th.
It’s going to be a hot one today, so please send a water bottle to school with your child:)
