We do not have a Spelling Test this Week.

Remember that this week is the last week of Unit 1 so we will not have a Spelling Test or a new story this week.  We will have a Unit 1 test on all of the skills we have learned in Reading and Grammar for Unit 1.  Your child will get a Unit 2 Spelling list this week that will begin the following week. 

Please do not forget to return your Blount Discount cards or the money for them by this Wednesday, Oct. 2nd.  If your child did not sell the cards we need to return them to the PTA. 

A form came home last week for our class directory.  Please make sure you return that as soon as possible. 

A very important letter came home about Renaissance Home Connect last week.  It shows you how to sign up to receive emails every time your child takes an AR test.  As a parent, I love this! I would recommend that you sign up for it to stay informed about your child's progress with AR.

I sent home our new Science Voc. words last week for Chapter 2.  We will not test on these words until next week.  I just wanted you to have it in plenty of time to study just a little each night.  I told the kids to take just a few minutes every night to review the words. 

We will test on Chapter 2 in Math this Thursday.  Your child will have a review sheet for homework Wednesday night.  Please make sure your child is comfortable with the review.  I was so impressed with how well the kids did on the Chapter 1 test.  I am stressing the need to go back and check every answer.  If the kids skip a problem it is marked wrong.  On the test, that is 5 points per question.  They have all the time they need so they can take their time and do their best.

We have a project coming up in Science that is going to require many white paper plates and many brads.  We are making skeletons.  If you would like to send either of these items in we would appreciate it.  I am estimating about 15 plates per child.  The skeletons are quite large. 

Thanks a million for sending in all of the Box Tops! We had a super full bag to send to the office!

Please don't forget to check your child's binder nightly, and to sign their reading log.

I appreciate you, and all that you do! Don't hesitate to email me with any questions you may have! I hope your week is super!
