Tonight's there will not be any homework to allow for family time on this holiday. Don't forget we WILL have our Spelling Test and Reading Comprehension Test tomorrow!

Wednesday, October 30, 2013

Just a reminder, tomorrow the students are to wear their uniforms. No costumes or special shirts please. We will not be having a Halloween celebration. In the last 30 minutes of school, we will be viewing a special film as a reward.

We have begun our new unit in Math. The students are struggling with the concept of counting by 10’s from any given number (i.e., 4, 14, 24, 34, 44, 54, etc.). Please practice in the car, at dinner, etc. having your child count by tens for you from any given number up to 100.

Vocabulary - Complete "Use the Text"; Study for Magic Tree House Vocabulary test.

Tonight the students will have their weekly newsletter in their DOG Binder, and you can find the digital copy here. I am delaying our Math Test on Topic 4 until Friday, October 25 because I feel that the students need a few more days of review. Therefore, the cumulative Units 1, 2, and 4 Test will not be, tentatively, until Tuesday, October 29.
As of right now, all other test and quizzes for this week remain as scheduled.

Finally, a reminder that starting Monday any paper (daily work, homework, test, etc.) that students do NOT put their name on will be an automatic zero. I have been preparing the students for this throughout the previous nine weeks with just taking 5 points off. Just a little reminder.
