Hallowe'en

This week most of our spelling words are words we have done already, either last year or a few weeks back. They are: little, here, strap, what, pretty, want, track, pale, sale and whale.
Many of the boys and girls have read way beyond thirty books. Good job, keep it up!
This week on Wednesday, we have an assembly at 11:00 am. All are welcome. We will be going room to room for activities on the afternoon of the 31st., Thursday. We will finish up in our room for about 20 or 25 minutes for a little party. The boys and girls may bring costumes if they like, and change into them at noon.
Have a SPOOKY week.

Mid- October

This week our spelling words are: what, us, call, my, jump, see, called, strap, gap, and slip. We have some lovely new books and your child should be bringing one home to read with you each night.
Book orders are due tomorrow Wednesday, but I will wait until Friday to send in the order. It has been a bit busy here lately. Drama begins tomorrow at 2:00 pm. Your child can go home on the 3:00 pm bus.
Enjoy this lovely weather, we know it won't last for ever.

Short Week!

This week is indeed a short week for your children. There is no school for students on Thursday or Friday but the teachers will be here for professional development. So homework will need to be tackled right away and back in by Wednesday. Tomorrow, Tuesday is PICTURE DAY. We are scheduled for 9:30 am.
Spelling words are: make, will, am, me, pretty, same, sap, flap, tip, drip. Remember to see that your child is reading every night or day. Some of them are in the " 20's" already! :)
Have a nice Thanksgiving.

October is here!

This week's spelling words are: she, with, are, he, funny, more, sip, lip, flip, and trip. In math we are still working on patterns this week, increasing patterns with numbers. We are also practicing counting by 2's, 5's, 10's, frontward and backward.
Some students are not bringing in their Reading Logs. I realize your child may have a long book and need a couple of nights to finish, that is fine. They really do need to be encouraged to read every night though and to change their books regularly.
Book orders will go home Wed. or Thurs. and will be due October 16th.
School Pictures will be taken October 8th, with the Grad. pictures on the 7th.
There is no school for students Oct.10th and 11th, teachers have professional development those days and of course Monday, Oct. 14th is Thanksgiving.
Please be checking your child's head for the "undesirables". Also if you have not sent in your "student fees", please send the $7.00 for your child's agenda for now, thank you.
Have a great week.
