This is a busy week ahead!

As we are preparing for the Winter Break (Dec. 21st - Jan. 6th) please keep in mind that we have two weeks left in the nine weeks and each and everyday is extremely important.  Although we have three early release days (12/18, 12/19, 12/20) this week, we will be covering new and important concepts.  Please make sure that your child is coming to school ready to learn and work.  Also, your child needs to have at least 9.0 AR points by Wednesday, January 8th in order to meet the nine week minimum requirement.

On Friday, we will have a movie morning and enjoy cookies and milk.  If your child would like, they may wear pajamas that follow the school dress code policy including closed toe and heel shoes. Notes went home today with further information about Friday.

Please remember that on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we have early release!

Our Reading LIA Results were AMAZING!!!

I am very proud of my class, each and every child worked hard on the Reading LIA this past week.  In their binders, you can see the progress they have made if you refer to the data sheet.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Also, we will continue with the SAME spelling words (Prefixes) this week.  Spelling homework is a little different so please refer to the Homework tab for details.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Our class feast was a huge success, thank you for everyone that came and had lunch with us!  I wish you and your family a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

Reading LIA will be on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 3rd and 4th.  Please encourage your child to read carefully and use their strategies.

Upcoming Events!

Wednesday is Early Release and our class feast at 10:30 a.m.  Please bring your food item in at 10:00 a.m. warmed and with a serving spoon.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

We will be taking our first Science test of the year without the use of textbooks on Friday, please make sure that your child is reviewing and completing the Study Guide.  Study Guides will be collected and graded on Wednesday, but returned to your child before the end of the day so that they have them to study from.

The following week, we will be out of school for the Thanksgiving Holiday.  Over the week long break, have your child read and study the Multiplication facts daily.

Our Thanksgiving Feast!

Our Thanksgiving Feast will be on Wednesday, November 20th at 10:30 a.m.  I sent home notes on Friday about the feast, please look it over and let me know if you are able to send in the item marked and whether or not you will be attending.
