Important Announcements:
*Congratulations to Griffin,
Qwentin, and Davian! These gentlemen
leveled up on the super-improvers wall in the classroom. Students earn stars by showing improvement in
academic and behavioral areas. Once ten
stars are earned, a child levels up to the next level. Way to go, Griffin, Qwentin, and Davian!
*Next week is a three-day
week. We will not be having spelling
words next week. We will be taking the
reading test on Wednesday. However, I
will wait to see how the students do on it before I decide whether or not to
take it for a grade. As far as homework,
your child will have reading and math homework on Monday, reading homework on
Tuesday, and no homework over Thanksgiving Break.
*We will be taking the SRI
test next week. Once I have printed the
reports, I will send home your child’s new (and hopefully improved!)
score.
*Continue to work on addition
and subtraction math facts. Make sure to
use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free
online at www.xtramath.org. Let me know if
you need the log-in information sent home again.
*If anyone is able to come in
and volunteer next week, send me an e-mail and let me know what day and time
works best for you! Thanks!
*The church I attend, The
Blended Church, is one of the sponsors of Fox 59’s Pack the Pantries. If you are interested in donating canned
goods and other food items, but don’t want to drop it off at one of the sites,
please feel free to send it in with your child, and I will be more than happy
to deliver it for you.
*I believe in building relationships with the children both
inside my classroom and outside the classroom.
If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports,
dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite
me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come!
*The blog will also be updated with this information as well
so if you need to see it again visit http://misswhisman.blogspot.com
