Thank You-Thank You

Thank you to all of you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to take an interest in your child's education and come to see how they are doing here at school.  It was so nice to visit with each of you and to share your child's successes and to discuss things that need to be worked on.  How great it is when we can communicate together for the good of each child.  So thank you for coming and all your support.  Ask your child what they are most proud of for so far this year here at school.  Write the answer in the planner for free money.
Speaking of money, we are going to be spending it on "fun" stuff Friday, November 6th and then starting over with new money.  I think the students all realize the importance of making good, positive choices and being the BEST they can be.
Keep your child practicing that Wowzers & Xtra Math at least 3-4 times/week as well as spending that 30 min./night reading.  It is all beneficial to their learning and the progression of their school years.
This upcoming week is going to be busy as usual.
Social Studies-we will be having our 2 part Northeast Region test.  Part 1 is making an advertisement poster showing & explaining 4 locations we stopped at during our tour as well as recalling 3 facts about each.  Part 2 is the actual states & capitals with their locations.  These will be on Monday & Tuesday.
Then on Wednesday, it is Veteran's Day and we spend a good portion discussing what the day means, who we honor, etc. and reading an amazing book.  You will hear about it.
Math-we are continuing to learn new strategies to find the products for more difficult multiplication problems.  I am happy to announce, the Go Math seems to be getting a bit easier for now anyway. :)
Spelling-Unit 10 words
Language-Possessive Nouns and Capitalization Rules
Lead 21-Selection 3 of our small theme readers and starting our Endangered Animal Reports which will be quite extensive.
Please see the attached letter from Mrs. Neese about the PB & J food drive sponsored by Student Council.
Congratulations to Ben, our student of the week.  Here are some of Ben's favorites:  grapes, drawing, PE, blue, and Halloween.  He wants to learn more about spelling this year and get better at "count bys".
His idea of a perfect day is nice & sunny and in 20 years, he hopes to have a wife and 3 kids.
Have a great weekend and week.
Also, I will only be blogging once/week and it will be on the weekend to fill you in on the past week's happenings as well as what is coming for the new week.
PTA Movie tonight, November 6th from 6-8.  Free money if you go!!!  Have fun!!
