Spelling Tests in Google Classroom do not allow parents to see what their child spelled incorrectly.\u00a0 It only allows you to see what their final score is.\u00a0 As a parent, I know that I like to be able to see what my child got wrong.\u00a0 Therefore, I will be going back to our original way of taking written spelling tests starting this Friday.\u00a0 Sometimes technology isn’t the best way of doing things:)<\/p>\n
Tomorrow, October 31st is our Halloween Party.\u00a0 The following families have already signed up on our SignUp Genius to donate food\/items:\u00a0 Khan, Davis, Stratford, Aljahmi, Kerr, Jammoul.\u00a0 Thank you to these families.\u00a0 Please do NOT send in any food items unless you are one of the families that signed up.\u00a0 We will not have time or room in our stomachs to eat anything extra.\u00a0 If you did not sign up for this party, you will have the opportunity to sign up for future parties.\u00a0 Your child may bring in goody bags or candy to pass out to the classroom.\u00a0 Students will NOT be able to deliver treats\/candy to other classrooms or teachers.\u00a0 If you would like to deliver a special treat to another teacher, you will have to do so after school.\u00a0 Students will be watching a Halloween movie, enjoy our treats, and do a small craft project.\u00a0 Students are allowed to wear costumes to school.\u00a0 Please make sure there are no weapons, masks, or excessive face paint.\u00a0 Students will not be able to change into their costumes at school, so it is important for all students in our class to get dressed in the morning and wear their costumes to school.\u00a0 I will post a class photo of the students in the costumes at the end of the day.<\/p>\n

The end of the first marking period is this Friday, November 3rd.\u00a0 Please make sure your child has turned in all late\/missing assignments by Friday morning.\u00a0 Missing assignments will effect students’ grades on report cards.<\/p>\n
Parent Teacher Conferences are scheduled for November 9th, 15th, and 16th.\u00a0 Please go back to my previous blog to see what day\/time you signed up for.\u00a0 If you have not signed up yet, please contact me as soon as possible to pick a day and time.\u00a0 \u00a0Please make sure to arrive on time on the correct day.\u00a0 If you arrive late, you will have to wait until there is an opening in my schedule.\u00a0 Parents will receive their child’s report card and NWEA scores at conferences.<\/p>\n
Reminder that Weekly Reading Logs are due EVERY MONDAY!\u00a0 Students who do not return their logs will be walking the track during outside recess.<\/p>\n
Students should be reading and writing every day according to their list of assignments in the Reading Bags.\u00a0 Many students are not keeping up, and this will effect their grades.\u00a0 Students should read the assigned pages\/chapter each day and choose a written response to write in their response notebooks.\u00a0 The written responses should vary from day to day and should average 1\/2 page each.\u00a0 Some students are choosing the same activity every day and some are only writing one sentence.\u00a0 Please check your child’s Reading Bag and response notebook to make sure they are completing their work and following directions.<\/p>\n
Parents should be checking their child’s Student Planner on a daily basis and signed the planner every day.\u00a0 Many families are doing a great job, while others have not had a parent signature in weeks.\u00a0 This is an important tool for communication and is a responsibility of every child in class.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
