Review
of our week:
I
just wanted to thank everybody for coming to SEP’s. Things are going well. Our Daily 5 and Guided reading are going well. In math we are working on subtraction. We finished up our unit on rocks and are
going to start a unit on the moon.
Homework:
I
did the prizes for those students who had met the reading goal. The goal was to read at least 5 days a week
and turn them in. I only had 9 students
who met the reading goal. I really need
your help with this. I have some
students who did not turn in their reading record. I need to have them reading
every night.
Field
Trip:
We
are going to go on a field trip to the Robinson Family Pumpkin patch here in
Cedar City, the Friday we come back from the break. I have included a permission slip. If you would please send the permission slip
and $1 to pay for the pumpkin by Wednesday, October 12, that would be great. I
would like to get 3-4 parents to come and go with us. We will leave about 12:45 and be back by
2:00-2:30. Thanks
RAZ
Kids:
I
was able to get my project from Donor’s Choose funded and we have started using
the IPads in our Daily 5. I am so
excited about that. Thank you for those
of you who donated. When your child is
reading on Raz I would like them to listen to the story, then read the story
and do the quiz. If they are not getting
most of the questions correct on the story, I would like them to go back and
read the story again. Comprehension is a
very important part of reading.
Pinks
Fridays:
The
school district is wearing pink on Fridays in October, to support Breast Cancer
Awareness. I have a girl in our class
ask last week if they could do it too.
She also asked me if I could be put it in the newsletter. I meant to get an email out yesterday, but I
forgot. If your child would like to do
this the nest 2 Fridays, that would be great.
I did send a message on Remind 101 last night. If you have not done that yet, please do so.
Reminders:
*It is so important your child is here on time, if
not a few minutes early. If they are
late on a regular basis they are missing out on a lot of important things in
the morning. I would like you to check
out how many tardies your child has when I send home the first progress report.
* I won’t be doing a Newsletter next weeks. The spelling words I am sending will be for
the next two weeks. We will have our
spelling test the Friday we come back from the break.
*Remember to keep all of your Box Tops and send
them in.
* A couple of weeks ago I sent home the list of
sight words your child was on. I have
had several bring back their paper and pass them off. If you have not been practicing that list
with your child, please do so. They need
to have those sight words down to read a lot of the books we are reading and it
will help them move up in their reading levels as well.
Carving
Pumpkins:
I am
looking for 6 or 7 dads to come in and carve pumpkins with us on Halloween. We will do Friday, October 31 at 10:30. If you are interested and can come and help
please let me know, so I know how many pumpkins to get. Thanks
