Important Announcements:
*Attention Parent Volunteers! I need approximately five parent volunteers on Monday, October 18th from 9:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. If you can come in, please contact me ASAP!
*I am still working on finalizing a schedule for parent /teacher conferences. If I have notified you of your time, I have not forgotten about you! Thanks for your patience!
*Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week we will be reviewing skills that have been taught so far. There will be no spelling or reading tests next week.
*After Fall Break, we will begin taking our spelling tests on the computer. We have been practicing this for several weeks and the students have done a great job with this!
*The second nine weeks is officially underway. During the first nine weeks I read the reading quizzes aloud to all students. The students will now be reading the quizzes on their own.
*Your child brought home a Book-It reading calendar for the month of October. This is OPTIONAL. If your child reads for twenty minutes, twenty days out of the month of October and turns the reading calendar back in on November 1st, he/she will earn a coupon for a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. Happy Reading!
*Are you handy? I need a handy parent volunteer that can rig a thermometer somewhere outside so that we can check the temperature daily. Let me know if you are interested.
