Nov.26-30, 2010

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all have a wonderful week with your families. Report cards were sent home on Tuesday. Please return the signed envelope with your child. They will receive a pencil when they bring it back to me.

Here are some updates for when we return on November 26. A spelling packet will be sent home for DOGZILLA, due Friday, the 30th. A spelling test will also be held on that day. For math, we just finished up with multiplication and will take a small break with measurement. Please continue to practice the multiplication facts, as they are still important and not yet memorized. Students will continue to practice in class during math time with a quick 0-4 quiz on Friday.

A holiday Scholastic book order will also be sent home this week. If you are interested, please order on line or send in the order form with payment. Once ordered, it takes about a week for the books to be sent to the school.

Have a wonderful week!

November 13-17, 2012

Happy Veterans' Day! Being a short week, the spelling packet for Dancing Rainbows will not be due until Tuesday, November 20 (the day before vacation). If you plan on being out the whole week of Thanksgiving, please let me know and your child will need to turn in the packet by Friday. With that said, our spelling test will be on Tuesday the 20th (or Friday for those who are not here). We will continue to plug away at the multiplication facts. I will be giving short timed quizzes twice a month for multiplication to see how well your children are progressing. Please assist them at home with these facts, especially the 6's-9's.

Report cards will go home on Tuesday, November 20th. Please sign and return the envelope when the students return to school. We will continue to grade using the 5,4,3,2,1 model. 5=advanced, 4=proficient, 3=basic, 2=below basic and 1=far below basic.

Also, if you have any pencils and wipes to share with the class, we will surely use them. Have a wonderful weekend!

Nov 5-9, 2012

Hello Parents!

Can't believe it is already November...Our Halloween party was a hit. A big thanks to ALL of the parents who helped out on this day. I have to admit, I'm glad it's over though:)

This week a spelling packet for The Talking Cloth will go home and is due on Friday. Please be sure your child is completing ALL pages of the packet. Some pages are not attached and it makes it difficult for me to check when it's all is separate pieces. We will have a spelling test on Friday with these words.

We are also chipping away at multiplication. We have done 0's, 1's, 2's, 5's, 3's and 9's. We'll continue to work on these facts as well as new ones. We will have a test on these facts sometime during the week for Chapter 6.

That's all for now. Have a wonderful weekend!
