We had such a fun and busy week last week. I will add some slideshows to share the fun. We have another fun and busy week of learning coming up this week.
* Very important! Downtown has issued a change for our Spelling grades. From now on your child will have two spelling daily grades under Grammar in STI for each nine weeks. Those two grades will consist of all of the spelling Test for each Unit averaged together to make one grade. This will be an average of about 4 or 5 spelling test for each Unit. I will hold those spelling test in my grade book and average them together once the Unit is over. You will get all of those test stapled together in signed papers once we have completed that Unit.
* The Book Fair will continue this week Until Thursday, November 1st. If your child brings money, they will be sent to shop. You may want to specify with them specific items you want them to purchase with their money. My own children both came home with "slime" that I don't care for. I should have been more specific in my shopping directions for them. :) I wanted to make sure you knew there are items other than books that may be purchased.
November 1st is the last day for the Just Give Campaign.
* November 9th is an early release day for students. I am sure you have all received the recording about this, but please let me know if you have any questions. Blount will dismiss at 1:10 that day.
November 12th is a school Holiday for Veteran's Day.
I realize that this Wednesday evening may be a big night for the kids so we will go ahead and test on Chapter 3 in Math this Wednesday to avoid the homework Wednesday night. We will also have a Science Vocabulary test for Chapter 3 this Wednesday. Your child brought a study sheet home last week for these words. We will not have any homework Wednesday night.
Story: The Bremen Town Musicians
Phonics: Plurals
Comprehension Skill: Author's Purpose
Comprehension Strategy: Story Structure
Grammar: Plural Nouns that change Spelling
Math: Chapter 3 Test this Wednessday
Science: Chapter 3 Vocabulary Test Wednesday
Please don't forget to sign up for STI so you can see your child's grades earlier than signed papers if you need to.
