Weekly News!


Yea for Fall!! I hope everyone had a great weekend! 

Our new lunchtime is from 11:10-11:30. You may wait for us by the front office!

Everyone should know their lunch number!
Please make sure to label ALL money with your child’s name and what it is for. 

I hope you are checking your child’s take home notebook daily and taking out all papers on the “keep at home” side.  Please make this a habit!

Library Books- Please make sure your child is bringing their book back everyday.  There are several times throughout the day that the children are encouraged to read their library book. Also, when your child is ready to take an AR test please be sure and write the name of the book in their AR log.

Tomorrow you will receive your first Scholastic Book Order form.  Book orders are strictly voluntary.  If you would like to order books this month you may do so online or fill out the order form and return it to me by this Friday with a check made payable to Scholastic.  Remember each time you order books we also receive books for our classroom!!

Reading ~  “Family Times” went home on Friday. On the back you will find optional homework to reinforce what is being taught at school.  We will read different genres this year and will focus on Realistic Fiction until mid October.

Word Wall Words- he  is  to  with  three

Amazing Words ~ Each week the children will be introduced to some "amazing words".  These are not words students will be expected to read or spell, but increase their oral vocabulary.  

This weeks words are: classmates, education, polite, principal, recess, science, applaud, complicated, and success.

Language ~ {Adjectives} Students are writing sentences daily as they learn that each sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark.  Are your children bringing home correctly written sentences?  I hope so!  This means they are paying attention in class and taking pride in their work.

Math ~ Ch.3 Please check your child’s folder daily to know what lesson to do for homework. I hope you are doing flashcards to practice doubles. It would also be a good idea to make flashcards for addition facts 0-5. We have been practicing them at school but reinforcement and practice is needed at home! 

Important Dates: 9/27~ Box Tops Due  10/3 ~ Teacher Treat Day10/8 ~ Fall Pictures10/14 ~ Columbus Day/NO SCHOOL!10/17 ~ Fall Festival/Report Cards
