Hi All!
We will have our next Number the Stars test on Monday. Please make sure the students come with their study guides and books to class on Monday. We began long division this week, and will continue working on multiplication and division next week. We have begun our windmill STEM project and will continue to work on them next week. We continue to learn about saints and work on the finishing touches of our Saints Project. Don’t forget to dress like your saint for next Friday for All Saints Day.
RED RIBBON WEEK
Red Ribbon Week has begun! Please check the schedule for the daily activities.
HALLOWEEN
Students can come in their costumes, but they will not be allowed to wear their masks in school. They are not allowed any type of weapon, either. We will have a party at the end of the day. Students may bring treats. Please make sure they are individually wrapped and that they have enough for everyone. There are now 16 students in our class. Please do not send in baked goods, unless they are individually wrapped. Also, please keep in mind that we have peanut and nut allergies in the class.
I-READY
My Halloween treat for the children is that there is no I-Ready homework next week. Happy Halloween.
HOMEWORK– There are always bumps in the beginning of the year. As part of our routine, students write down the homework assignments that are posted on the board at the beginning of the day, the very first thing they do. At times, they may need to change it throughout the day, but the very first thing they are suppose to do is fill in their planner. From now on, I will be checking the planners sporadically. It is expected that you student fill in his or her planner accurately and daily. Please check at home if this is indeed happening, and if not, let me know. Every Monday, two iXL assignments in math, fourth grade level, and two iXL assignments in language arts, fourth grade level, are assigned and are due the following Monday. Please note that because the students have a week to complete their assignments that late assignments will not be accepted. I-Ready homework is assigned on Monday, as well. Students are to complete and pass two lessons in math, and two lessons in reading every week by Friday. They are unable to make it up the next week. Assignments for that week will not be credited the following week. Math workbook pages are to be completed and in school the next day. Late work will not be accepted. Reading Logs are to be handed on Mondays. If a student is missing homework, a missing homework slip goes home. Please sign this slip and return it back the next day. Test corrections are allowed for half credit. They are to be done and handed in the next day. They will not be accepted after that. All tests are to be signed and returned the next day. Usually, they will have a stamp on them.
Uniforms
As a reminder, please make sure your student is adhering to the uniform policy of the school.
Dress for Recess!
We go out in very cold weather, as low as 20 degrees. While it is warm now, it will not remain. Please make sure your student is warmly dressed for outdoor play. Dress them in layers, with hat, gloves and scarves, if necessary. Thank you.
