October 18-22, 2010

It was great getting to chat with everyone during conferences. Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to meet and talk about your child. It was also nice seeing so many families at the Harvest Festival. I have to say, the pumpkins and jump house were a big hit for my son.

I am relieved to be back to a normal schedule this week. The regular homework/spelling packet will go home for the story Anthony Reynoso-Born to Rope including the multiplication facts for 3s, 4s, and 5s. We will have a quiz on these facts again next week. We are getting through Chapter 4 of subtracting greater numbers. Be sure your child understands how to borrow. Many have gotten the concept, but it is a hard one and needs a lot of reinforcement. Lit Circles are also underway. Every Wednesday your child will get a new job and book they need to read. Be sure your child is reading ALL of the assigned pages. I will be asking students to take AR quizzes on the computer covering these books. These books can also be used for the weekly reading log that is checked off every Friday.

Mrs. Ortiz is beginning to organize the Halloween party that will be held on Friday, October 29 in Room 21. If you are interested in helping please let her know. We are not sure of the exact time, but it will probably be in the morning after the Halloween parade.

Wish list: pencils. It's amazing how quickly we go through them. If you could send some in that would be great!

Have a great weekend!
