September 19-23

I apologize for not having the blog done this weekend. Our Internet was down. Your child has the vocabulary words for the week in their folder. Please check and practice every night.

Reminder: Turn in Signed Progress Reports by Friday, September 23rd.

ITBS TESTING HAS BEGUN!!!

We took our first tests today and I will say that the children were focused and on task. We will be taking 2 tests each day. We will be finished testing on Thursday. Please continue to remind them to do their best on each and every part. They need to get a good nights sleep and be sure to remind them to eat breakfast to fuel their brain.

The spelling words will be going home on Tuesday. Please practice each night. The practice test will be on Thursday and the final on Friday. We are continuing with Short a words. There will be two bonus words each week. The Bonus words on Thursday will be different from Friday and will be included in the scoring.

We will continue to learn about the ecosystem in Science. We have been doing science investigations each week with the items requested. Thank you to everyone who has participated. This week we will be discussing plant parts and what part we eat. Please look at the list outside of our classroom door to bring in items for our Friday Discussion and Investigation.

In Social Studies we have been discussing our Country, State and City. Be sure to discuss with your child so they know the difference. Tonight's homework includes discussing your neighborhood. Discuss what your neighborhood might have and have your child ready to discuss tomorrow at school. Locations may include a park, school, fire station, library etc.


Friday will be a 12:30 Dismissal

Thank you for signing all the planners. Be sure to also check on Friday for any work that needs to be done or completed over the weekend.
