Fall Break is here!!!!

Hello Parents!!!!
This week and next week are two three day weeks. Students will come to school Monday-Wednesday of this week and Wednesday-Friday next week. Here is our weekly update on the happenings in Mrs. Dyer's class.

Accelerated Reader

Next Friday, October 11, 2013 is the last day for students to make their AR Goals.  Many of the students have worked very hard and have already met their goals. Some are still working hard.  Please encourage your child to continue reading and taking AR tests.  Congrats to the following students who have met their goals.

Conference Week

October 21-25, 2013 is Conference Week.  I will be sending letters home this tomorrow, Monday, September 30, 2013.  Please carefully read the letter and let me know if you can attend your scheduled conference or if we need to reschedule.

Spelling

This week students will be working on a different spelling list due to the two short weeks.  Students will learn how to spell the days of the week as well as the names of some important places.  Spelling homework will begin on Monday night and continue through next Thursday night.  I will give the students a chance to  complete 5 different spelling activities.  Their test will be next week on Friday, October 11, 2013.

Spelling Homework for this week
Monday, September 30-  Write spelling words two times each.
Tuesday, October 1-  Write words in ABC order.
Wednesday, October 2 thru  Thursday, October 10 - Create spelling stars using your spelling words.
                                                                                    Choose 7 words and write a sentence.
                                                                                    Choose the other 7 words and write a sentence.

Multiplication

This past week, we began Timed Test Tuesdays and Thursdays.  This gives students two opportunities each week to take tests and show mastery of their multiplication facts. Many students passed their zeros and ones.  Some even passed their 2's. Due to our short week, we will have Timed Test Monday and Wednesday.  Next week, it will be Timed Test Wednesday and Friday. 

IXL

IXL is a math software program. Each student in class will receive their login and password tomorrow.  Please have your child to go online and login at least three times a week.  This will help students to improve in the area of math.

Vulcan Field Trip and Little White House Field Trip

Last Monday, the field trip permission slip came home for the Vulcan Field Trip. We will go on this trip on Wednesday, October 16.  This trip costs $5. Please send in the money and permission slip for this trip as soon as possible.

We will also be going on a trip to the Little White House in March.  Although, March is quite a distance away, we must pay a deposit for this trip very soon.  Please send in the deposit for this trip as soon as you can.

Thanks so much for your support!!!! We are having a great year!!!
