PROGRESS REPORTS:

These went home last Friday.  Please note, I do not check “consistently high performance” at this point in the year because I don’t feel we have not been in school quite long enough yet.  So please don’t feel that your child isn’t doing great!

SIGHT WORDS:

You may see a sight word paper in your child’s reading folder.  Feel free to have your child practice these words whenever you have a chance.  I try to test them monthly, if not, weekly. 

CLASS DOJO COUPONS:

You may have seen paper coupons come home in your child’s reading folder.  If their name was on the back of a coupon they earned it!  The coupon is for one day. J

GEERS PUMPKIN PATCH:

October 22^nd is our Geers Pumpkin Patch field trip.  We will be going there from 9:00-11:00 that morning.  A note went home last week.  (Let me know if you do not have one) Please sign and return the note with $4.00 and your name with $4.00 for yourself if you are choosing to chaperone the field trip.  If you choose to chaperone you will have other children in your group on the field trip…just FYI.  J

HALLOWEEN FUN:

An official note will be sent home soon, but the day is normal in the morning (please DO NOT send your child to school in their costume).  After lunch they may all change into an costume (no weapons).  We will have a parade, visit the 4^th grade Wax Museums, and then head back to the classroom for snacks and a Halloween movie. 

STUDENT OF THE WEEK:

Our special student this week is David Ferris.  David just celebrated his 7^th birthday this month.  He has a twin sister Ellie and 6 other siblings!  David loves monster trucks, guns, and mud puddles.  His favorite food is ravioli and book is Batman.  He hopes to learn to read and tie his shoes this year!

SPELLING WORDS:

I was asked what the HF words are.  This stands for High Frequency Words.  It’s just another name for sight words. 

The spelling homework is not due until next Thursday, the 22^nd!  We will have our test on that Friday.
