Thanksgiving Week

Looks like the rain is here! I hope it tapers off so you can all travel safely this week.

Due to the short week, again, there will be no spelling homework packet. Students will get homework Monday night for math only. Students took the Unit 3 multiplication test on Friday and will bring that home on Monday as well. I mentioned that we would begin division in the last blog, but realized that we take a break with measurement and geometry. However, we will continue practicing multiplication facts throughout the month of December. Lit Circles will be due the Wednesday we return. ALL students should be able to turn this in on time. I sent a Lit Circle packet home the other day that read "Important Keep" at the top. I hope that you were all able to take a look at it. It's important to check your child's work before they turn it in to me. Some kids are putting little effort into their job and it shows when there are several mistakes and low quiz scores. If the books are too challenging for your child, please let me know so I can adjust their level.

I made a mistake with the date of the field trip to the Museum of Natural History. We are going TUESDAY, December 14. Please be sure to send in the permission form with $2.00. Also, if I haven't received your child's report card envelope, you can send it in this week.

WISH LIST: Pencils

Have a WONDERFUL, RELAXING THANKSGIVING this week! On that note, A big THANK YOU to all of my parent helpers this year. All of the little things you do from correcting papers, pulling pages from practice books, photocopying, ... save me so much time and allow me to enjoy my family in the evenings. I am very thankful to have such wonderful volunteers.
