*Happy Birthday to Isaac!
Isaac celebrated his birthday this week on Thursday, August 15,
2013. Happy Birthday, Isaac!
*Students from our class that were drawn this week from the
paw bucket: Kade. Congratulations!
*We have started our geography unit in Social Studies. As you are visiting places in Brownsburg
(restaurants, stores, neighborhoods, etc.), can you please take your child’s
picture in front of them and send them to me electronically? We will be using these pictures during our
geography unit. Thanks so much!
*Today your child will bring home a pamphlet that will have
next week’s spelling words in it, tells you what reading skill we will be
learning about, and gives you daily suggested
activities you can do with your child. This
is NOT homework. However, those
highlighted words are your child’s spelling words. These are the words he/she will be tested on
Friday, August 23rd.
*Today we took our spelling test using the website www.spellingcity.com/awhisman. However, we are still unable to print the
tests. I have recorded your child’s
score in the gradebook, and if you have any questions about what words he/she
missed, please contact me, and I will let you know. Spelling City is a great resource for you to
use to have your child practice his/her spelling words throughout the
week. He/she can even take practice
tests, play games using the words, or practice at home!
*Your child will have homework Monday – Thursday next
week. The homework will be in the area
of reading and English. Math homework
will also start on Tuesday of next week.

*Mark your calendars for Tuesday, August 20th. That is Open House from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. Open House is where you come into the
classroom, and I will be presenting information to you about your child’s
year. I will cover a lot of information
so it is important you attend if you can.
If you are unable to attend, I will send the information home with your
child the next day. Unlike previous
years, teachers will only be doing one presentation this evening. This event is for parents only; children
should not attend.
*I sent home a contact magnet with your child or gave you
one at supply drop off. My e-mail
address is: awhisman@brownsburg.k12.in.us or my phone number is 317-852-1062
