Happy Halloween! Since all of our little trick-or-treaters will be out celebrating, there will be no homework tonight. Be safe on your travels around the neighborhood!
The party planned by the Room Moms was a big success!! Much fun was had by all! They ate witch's brew, made mummies out of each other, and estimated how much candy was in a jar. Thanks Room Moms!!!!
Have a wonderful,safe Halloween!
We did a science experiment yesterday in the Science Lab called "Sink or Float". Ask your child about the different objects we experimented with in the water. The large pumpkin was the most tricky to make a prediction for. Ask your child what happened to the pumpkin.
On Monday, the children will be bringing home their Unit 1-2 workbook. Look for a letter to come home with the workbook.
Your child was able to take two readers home today. They are from our old reading series, and are theirs to keep. They provide lots of good stories to read for extra practice.
The Halloween party will be on Monday, and is being planned by the Room Moms. Thank you for all the supplies that were sent in to help make the party a success! If you have not yet sent your assigned supply in, please send it in on Monday. The children may come out of uniform, but no costumes are allowed. Looks like it is going to be a great time!
Have a great weekend!
Everyone should have received their schedule for the Parent-Teacher conferences on Nov. 21-22. If your time does not work for you, please let me know and we can make arrangements for another day/time.
Just a note...we are very crowded on Tuesday, Nov. 22 from 2:00-3:00. The family letters are H,I,K,L,N at this time. If anyone wants to change to another time, please let me know.
Thank you.
Today the children are bringing home their "pet rocks" that they made in school, to go with our reading story. Ask them to tell you how they decorated their pet.
Homework: Please complete the math worksheet in their green folder.
Their spelling test results are in their folders,unless they were absent. Those who were sick will be taking the test when they are ready.
Tomorrow, Thursday, is an out-of-uniform day. The whole school should be wearing something red in honor of Red Ribbon Week. This is to remind them to make good choices for themselves. Jeans are acceptable.
Don't forget...there is no school on Friday due to a Teacher Institute Day.
Have a great night!
Homework: Please have your child complete four math story problems and a practice page.
Tomorrow we have some special visitors to our school from Junior Achievement. They will be spending the day teaching our students.
Stay warm!
Remember to keep reviewing for next week's spelling test. If you ever misplace your child's spelling list, I believe the lists are also available on the parent portal.
Homework: Please read the story "What Can You Get For a Nickel?" in the reader. We will be reading it again in school tomorrow in small groups.
Also, our new religion chapter deals with Baptism. If any of the children would like to bring in a picture of themselves on the day of their baptism, we would love to see them. Of course, they will be returned at the end of the week.
Have a great day!
I hope that everyone was able to access the Superkids website and read an interactive book from Unit 1 with your child.
Today I have sent home the new spelling words. The test will be on October 25th. Attached to the spelling word list is a spelling contract. Please make sure that your child chooses at least 5 ways to practice their spelling words. Return the contract sometime before the test.
Thanks and have a great weekend!
REMINDER: This week please go to the Superkids website and read an interactive book for Unit 1 with your child. It does not matter what book you read from the three choices listed on the web page.
Tomorrow will be an out-of-uniform day for Room 8 because we have earned a pass from collecting pop tops. Keep sending them in!
Have a great day!
This week try to go to the Superkids website and read an interactive book for Unit 1 with your child. It does not matter what book you read from the three choices listed on the webpage.
In Science we are studying bats. Ask your child what they have learned about bats so far.
Continue to work with your child on their everyday words from Kindergarten if they still need practice. Next week I will check on their progress.
Thank you!
