Don't forget to wear your Blount spirit wear! Refer back to last weeks entry if you have any questions. Our plan is to leave on the bus at 9:00 from the school and reach Lanark by 9:30. Email me if you have any other questions. We are going to have a blast!!
This week we are celebrating Red Ribbon Week at Blount. Your child brought home a sheet to let you know what we are doing each day. Please remind them to check it so they won't be upset that they didn't participate in the activity for the day.
A sheet came home last week telling you about a Vision screening we will be doing. Please sign the sheet to indicate if you want your child to participate or not. The nurse needs a sheet from each student.
A very important sheet also came home about our next PTA meeting that will include PIZZA! The sheet gives you details, so please me sure to check it out. Speaking of our PTA, what an outstanding Fall Festival we had this year!! I am always amazed at the job our PTA does for us! If you see a PTA member please be sure to thank them for such an outstanding job! Blount wouldn't be all it is without them!!
You have probably been hearing your child mention Mrs. Wilder coming into our room and doing some activities with us. She is our gifted teacher here at Blount and she has been doing some screening for us in 2nd grade. She does a fantastic job, and the kids have enjoyed working with her. And to just be quite honest, I absolutely love how she goes on and on about how amazing our class is! What an honor it is to teach such incredible kids!!
Story: The Bremen Town Musicians
This is a play! WE LOVE TO PERFORM PLAYS!
Genre: Fairy Tale

Comp. Strategy: Story Structure
Grammar: Plural Nouns that change spelling
As we start a new nine weeks this week, your child will have 1 dictated sentence every week on their spelling test. This will be a very simple sentence that will include one of their spelling words. I will be checking to make sure they begin it correctly and end it correctly, along with correct spelling. As we discussed in the cluster conferences at the beginning of the year, everything has to be correct in the sentence.
In Math this week we will be working on Graphing. We plan to have a test this Friday. Please look for a review sheet for homework this Thursday.
Ask your child about our surprise visit from Zero the Hero on Friday. WOW! I had no idea just how famous he was! Apparently he is such a busy guy he came while we were gone and left in a dash without a trace! He was kind enough to leave us 10 Fall surprises!
I wanted to give you a heads up with Math Drills. We have been practicing with timed math drills this first nine weeks. We have increased our speed significantly already. Please have your child practice their math facts at home as well. We have been doing math games to increase our speed, as well as Math Facts in a Flash on the computer. In December your child will have a timed Math Drill that will be graded and it will count as a Math test grade.
Please email me with any questions or concerns. Have a fantastic week!
Mrs. Culp
