PARENT HOMEWORK TONIGHT!!!!!

Yes, parents you have homework tonight.  We read a great book in class today called Chrysanthemum.  It is about how a girl gets her name and that a name stands for something.  So your job tonight is to read the note on the colored note card about how your child got their name.  You can do just their first name or include the middle name too.  Please write your answers on the back of the card.  Students will get to share these tomorrow in class.  This ties in with our "Top 10 Things About ______ project as well as our 1st Lead 21 unit on heritage/culture.
Tomorrow is our first spelling test.  Don't fret too much about it as it is the first one and I may not even take grades due to the fact that all students have been in the regular classroom so far as no interventions have started yet, but they will be starting on Monday.  If your child is going to be in a Reading intervention you will be getting a letter tomorrow explaining that.
Today we did our first HR (which is non-fiction reading on some great topics & people).  This one was on the Treaty of Paris.  Ask your child what war this treaty ended along with your was the commander in chief.  Write the answers on paper for free money.
Fundraising Packets went home today.  Yes, our wonderful PTA's fundraiser has started and it goes from today until September 22nd.  There will be prizes for classroom & individual winners so let's GO TEAM HANKINS!!!!!!!
Tomorrow is Library so get those books back.
Have a great night.
