Dear Parents,

Due to several interruptions yesterday we were not able to get to the spelling tests. Therefore, there will be no new spelling words this week.  Everyone will just practice their words from this past week and we will have the spelling test as usual on Thursday.  Hopefully with all those extra days to practice everyone will get 100%.

November’s project is going to be very simple.  There will not be a specific schedule this month. Students can just bring their project whenever they are ready to present it.  If they are doing a power point I will need at least 2 days prior notice to reserve a projector.  This month’s theme is gratitude with an emphasis on America.  I would like them to present something they are grateful for that has come about because of the United States of America.

I wanted to give a huge thank you to our wonderful room mother, Tiffany Tuttle, who organized an amazing class party today!  Thank you also to all those who pitched in and helped out.  We sure appreciate all you do!

I also wanted to thank whoever purchased books for our class from the book fair last week!  What a wonderful surprise.  I don’t know who you are, but thank you very much!  We have really enjoyed the books : )

Have a wonderful weekend!

List 1: bed, hen, jet, leg, net, ten, web, red

List 2:  bike, dime, line, pipe, smile, stripe, vine, bride

List 3: absorb, anchor, brush, bud, center, core, factory, hive, sapling, trunk

The practice SAGE testing period for third graders has now begun. Today, our third graders completed the reading portion of the test.   They will be taking the math test next Monday (Oct. 31), and the writing test the following Monday (Nov. 7).  These are practice tests to help the third grade students understand what to expect on the end-of-year SAGE summative test in the spring.

Dear Parents,

• Monday is school picture day.  Your child should have brought home an order form a couple of days ago.
• There will be no spelling words next week due to the field trip on Thursday.  Students will just review previous spelling words.
• U.S Presidents projects are due soon.  If you need the schedule again please look at the post of September 27th.  Also, please let me know if your child is planning on doing a power point presentation so I can make sure to have the projector scheduled ahead of time.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Ms. Krista
