Me Box Presentations

Due to time contraints that came with our first week of spelling tests not all of the students were able to present their Me Boxes.  They will complete their presentations on Monday in class.  If your student brought home their box but didn't get to present please be sure they bring them back on Monday.  I really enjoyed the presentations that were done today. Many students put a great deal of thought into their items.

Math Test Review

Math Book Website for Test Review
http://www.eduplace.com/kids/mw/practice/3/ep3_01.html
Use this website as a resource for review for the Rounding Test on to be given on Friday, September 14, 2012. The test will be  on Chapter 2: Lessons 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4. Students should not spend more than 30 minutes on math homework per night.

Tuesday spelling

There seemed to be some confusion today about the spelling homework.  On Tuesday the students will be given a specific task to complete that helps to reinforce the concept of the week.  This week all of the groups were working with word structure so they were to highlight their rules/structures/patterns.  They were to write down their task at the top of the page and write down two examples to help them at home.  Next week I will be sure to give them a typed example of the task that I would like for them to complete to help avoid any confusion.

Spelling

Students brought home their Spelling notebooks tonight for the first time. The HW for each night is listed on a green peice of paper that is glued to inside of the back cover.  The homework for Monday is to sort and write the words under their correct category heading in their notebooks.

Book Orders

Book orders will be coming home next Monday.  You will be able to order online.  The link is https://orders.scholastic.com/H639D.  Please try to support this program to help your child become a better reader and to help us build our class libraries.

Pajama Day

Students are permitted to wear pajamas on Friday, September 7th.  They must pay $1 to be able to wear their pajamas for the day.  Please be sure they are appropriate and don't violate the appearance code.

Bi-weekly report

A bi-weekly report was sent home today with the students. Mr Gahagan, the elementary principal, wants each teacher to send home some type of progress report every two weeks.  You will see the one you received today two times per quarter. The other two times there will be a progress report and then a report card. Once these are signed we will send them to Mr. Gahagan for him to keep on file.  If you have any questions concerning the reports please let us know.
