Conference Week is Going Great!!!!

Dearest Parents,
It has been so awesome meeting with you this week and celebrating the success of your children.  I am so proud of them.  We have two more days to go.  Then, our schedule will be back to normal. Here are a couple of notes for upcoming events. Read and enjoy.

Multiplication Practice

This nine weeks we have been working on learning our multiplication facts.  Many students have made it to the 2's and 3's.  However, many are stuck there.  Everyone must know their time tables by the end of the second nine weeks. Congrats to David who is currently on his 9's.  Please encourage your child to learn his/her math facts.


Paul Revere

In social studies, we are currently learning about the life of Paul Revere and his famous ride.  We are also learning about many positive character traits that Paul possessed such as diligence, cooperation, and courage.  Ask your child to tell you how Paul exhibited these character traits and what these traits mean. We will take our Paul Revere Test on Tuesday of next week. 


Accelerated Reader

Last week our new nine weeks began and so did our new AR goals. Please encourage your child to check out books, read them carefully, and take AR tests. We had several students to make their goals first nine weeks.  Congrats to the following students:

If your child did not make his/her AR goal this nine weeks, please encourage them to do so the second nine weeks.

Spelling Test

It has been a rather strange two weeks.  However, we will have  our spelling test on this Friday.  This Friday's test will be on the days of the week and the important name places on our spelling list.


Assessments

As we come to the close of this nine weeks, we will be extremely busy finishing our assessments. We will take assessments in reading, math, grammar, and science.  It will be an extremely busy couple of days.  As I always tell the kids, we have work to do.


Rock Quarry Field Trip

 Next week, we will go on our trip to the Rock Quarry.  We are very excited about this trip.  The trip will be on Wednesday, October 16.  We will go on the trip and have sack lunches when we return to school. It will be an exciting trip.  If you have not returned your field trip money or permission slip, please do so as soon as possible.
