Welcome to a new week! It’s a busy one, so here’s what’s happening:

*Congratulations to this week’s Student of the Week, Michael!

*With a full week, we have our Friday spelling test. Your child’s spelling list was posted in Schoology today.

*We have 2 evenings of Parent/Teacher Conferences this week, but you don’t ever have to wait to have a conference with me! I’m only an email or text away. Please don’t hesitate to message me if you ever have any questions or concerns.

*This week will be having a math quiz on multiplying multi-digit decimals. Our students need your help. While they are allowed to use a Multiplication Table when taking quizzes and tests, we still need to increase our speed and fluency with multiplying. Please help your child practice their multiplications facts, as we will begin weekly multiplication quizzes in December. Those quizzes won’t go on report cards, but there will be prizes!

*This card-marking you may have noticed a new addition to the scores on your child’s weekly spelling test. Not only will your child be graded on the spelling, but now I’m looking for correct handwriting. Please help me help your child with practicing their spelling handwriting every evening. In the 3rd card marking (end of January), I will begin cursive handwriting, but I wanted the kids to master printing first.

*Remember, if your child is ever going to be absent, all assignments are also posted in Schoology. Your child won’t have to miss any assignments!

*As always, if you ever have any questions or concerns, please email me at: tattaa@dearbornschools.org or text me on Class Dojo.
