Thanksgiving is almost here!!!!

Hello all!!!! I can't believe that next week is Thanksgiving.  It will be a welcome break for all of us- a time to rest, relax, enjoy family, and be thankful for all of our blessings.  This week we will be very busy.  I just wanted to share a few things with you.

Progress Reports

Progress reports came home today.  Please take a look at your child's progress.  This is the beginning of the 6th week of the nine weeks.  We have this week and 3 more after the Thanksgiving Break.  Please encourage your child to work hard and finish the nine weeks with a bang.

Iowa Assessment Narratives

Today your child came home with an Iowa Assessment Narrative.  This is a profile of your child's performance on the Iowa Assessment.  It also offers suggestions as to how your child can improve their skill set.  Take a moment to read it and find out how to help your child be more successful.

Thanksgiving Lunch

Thursday, November 21, 2013, is our class's day for Thanksgiving Lunch.  I look forward to all of you joining us for lunch that day. Our lunch time on that day is 11:10-11:40.  See you Thursday.

Multiplication Facts

Our class is working extremely hard trying to master all of our multiplication facts through 10 by the beginning of Winter Break.  Some  students are still working on their 2's and 3's. Please encourage your child and help them to learn their facts.  It will be so helpful to them later on. 

Tests

This week there are two tests that we will take.  We will take our usual spelling test on Friday.  In addition to this,  we will also take a fractions test on Friday as well.  Study sheets for the fractions test will come home Monday thru Thursday nights this week. Please help your child to prepare for these tests.  There was a science test scheduled for this week also.  However, it has been cancelled and will be given sometime when we return from the Thanksgiving Break. 

I do believe that this is all for this week.  I hope that you guys have a Happy Thanksgiving. :)
