Newsletter 10-22-15

Parents,

It was great meeting with so many of you at parent-teacher conferences.  Thank you for making the time to look at your child’s progress and set goals.

We are in unit two in language arts.  Our big idea is “How can we work together?”  We are enjoying our story about Abraham Lincoln and learning about how he changed history.  We have been reading books and gathering information about Lincoln.  Ask your child why Abraham Lincoln grew a beard.J  We are also studying nouns and beginning informational writing.

Our students did great in math topic four, Repeated Addition.  We are studying place value now.  The test will be next Friday.

We are so excited to be in RAD Kids!  If you can help the next two Tuesdays from 12:15 to 1:15, our teachers will really appreciate it.  They can also use help the next two Wednesdays from 9:15 to 10:15.  Please email me if you can volunteer at any of these times.

Book orders are due tomorrow for paper orders or by Sunday at 8:00 for online orders.

Our Halloween party will be next Friday at 10:15.  Thank you to those of you who have volunteered to help with it.  I will send home more information about Halloween next week.

Thank you for making sure your child has his or her planner signed each day and homework turned in on time each week.  It’s nice for me to see the spelling activities students have completed.  If it’s not a written activity that they can attach, please mark the square with the day it was completed.

Reading charts are due Friday, October 30.  Children will receive a Pizza Hut coupon if they meet their goal.

Keep sending in box tops with your student.  Not only does it earn money for our school, we could win a pizza party!

Thanks for all your support.  Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  

Mrs. Adams
