Friday
We celebrated our paw party today by having a long lunch bunch. We also voted on our October Student of the Month. I think it's important that the students recognize their peers for positive actions and we try to choose someone different each month.
No homework tonight unless your child has not finished writing their 2nd draft. If so, then they need to finish it over the weekend. *There's only a few people. It's getting colder outside and we will try to go out as often as we can for recess. Please remind your child to dress in warm clothes and bring a jacket to school.
Have a great weekend!

Tuesday
Homework:
Math: none-continued working on division
Reading: Finish story if did not finish in class. Study spelling words
Science: We reviewed for our science test. We will review again in the morning and take our test tomorrow. The students did really well on the review today.

Writing: no hw
** Please return the ART to Remember if you have not done so yet.
Don't forget the information meeting tomorrow at 6 in the cafeteria about the science fair.

Left Ms. Matlock returned Mrs. Stith
First and foremost, I want to thank you for your patience and understanding while I was away. I had a wonderful time on my honeymoon in Hawaii and am trying to get back in the swing of things this week. Mrs. Basham left a great report said that the class was wonderfully behaved and continued to work hard. :)
We had lots of kids that did not have their planners signed today and had to move clips. (Remember that the first one is a warning and so not much of a consequence.) Please put a star next to your signature in your child's planner tonight if you are reading my blog. I am trying to make sure that information is reaching all of my parents. :)
HW:
Math: Division problems to finish from class. We did two in class and so your child should have the first 2 completed as a guide.
Reading: New spelling words this week. *I understand that some of these may be easy for your child but some are tricky and are words that I am seeing misspelled in class work. We will have a test on Thursday. Homework is to pick 5 and use in a sentence tonight.
Writing: no hw
Science: no hw
Upcoming events:
On Wednesday, there will be a parent meeting about the Science Fair from 6-6:30 in the cafeteria. This is not mandatory but will have lots of information. :) A packet will go home in your child's Wednesday Folder this week so be on the look out for it.
We will have a social studies test on Friday and a review will go home this week to study.
Thanks so much!
