UPDATE

Hello, everyone!
I hope you all are having a great weekend! We had a terrific party on Friday, lots of fun! I'd like to thank the moms who came in and provided lots of fun games. Thank you to Mrs. Dresser, Mrs. Klopp, and Mrs. Ahern. A big thanks also goes out to Mrs. Harazin, who provided all the special goody bag items. You all were extremely generous with your time and resources. Thank you!

Just a few reminders for this week:
Wednesday is Picture Day - if you want to purchase picture packages for your child, be sure to send the forms and money in by Wed.

We are currently reading the story, "Lou Gehrig." We will have a test on Thursday.

4th grade math students will have a study guide come home on Thursday and it is due on Monday. The test will be on Tuesday, October 28. I try to plan to not have homework like this over the weekend, but it just worked out this way. We will complete some of it in class, but I am sure some kids will need to complete it (possibly with some guidance and support from you) over next weekend. Thank you in advance for your help in this.

Please let me know if the conference time and day that I sent home will work for you. I need to finalize my schedule this week, so please email me or call.

This week marks the end of the first quarter, with report cards going home next Friday.

Thanks for checking in!

Notes for this week:
We will have our Reading test on "My Name is Maria Isabel" on Thursday this week.

Our Fall Party is next Friday, October 17 at 2:15p.m. If you can come in and help, we guarantee you will have a fun time!

Parent conferences are the first part of November. If you didn't sign up for a time, I will send home an assigned date and time. You need to email me or call me to change the day and time, if necessary. If you know right now what day or day you would like your conference, I will try to accommodate you. I can also plan other days for conferences if it works better for your schedule. A phone conference is also a option, although I greatly encourage you coming in to talk. I am perfectly fine with you bringing in your child to the conference.

Please keep a keen eye on your child's progression in math fact study. We try to offer 2 opportunities to pass to a new level test each week. THere is one 2 minute test each week. These tests come home for you to see. If you would like additional tests to have your child practice at home, please let me know. For your child to progress, extra practice may be needed at home. Each child is on a different level..have your child make a set of flashcards for home use. I am doing everything I can to provide time for this valuable knowledge to sink in, but for some kids, the work we do in class is not enough. Thant you for your help!!
