Happy Holidays!

One more day! 

Tomorrow is our last day of school before the Holiday Break.  The only homework they should have to turn in tomorrow is their fluency practice sheet. 

They took their government test this morning. I graded them and already sent them home today.  Please check to see how your child did.

Don't forget that your child needs a package of mechanical pencils for the party tomorrow. 

I hope you have a wonderful Holiday and a Healthy New Year!

See you in 2012!

Local Government Quiz

We completed a study guide today for the the Local Government Quiz which will be on Thursday.  If your child knows the study guide-they will do great on the test.

Thanks!

Good morning-

I hope everyone had a great weekend.  If you did not return your child's interim report, please return it to school tomorrow. 

Please turn in the goodies for the treat bags for our Holiday Party on Friday.  Don't forget that I am also asking each child to bring in a package of mechanical pencils for the gift exchange during the party.

Have a great day!

Friday

Good afternoon-

Interim reports are going  home with all students today. Please look over your child's progress, sign the bottom and return to school on Monday.  The interim is attached to your child's Fall OAA scores.  Just a reminder-400 is passing.
 
We took our unit review spelling test today.  Graded tests will be sent home on Monday. There will be no spelling words next week. 

Next week in Reading Street we will be continuing with our review unit.  There are no tests next week.

The only reading homework I am going to assign next week is fluency practice.  Please have your child practice their fluency each night.  They don't have to read for 20 minutes, but I hope that some will still do it on their own!

I am going to finish up our social studies unit next week---so I will get the test in before the break!  As of today I am going to plan on giving the test on Thursday.  We will complete a study guide in class on Tuesday.  The kids will have Tuesday and Wednesday to study at home.

Don't forget to send in treats for the goodie bags for the Holiday Party on Friday.  Also-I sent home a letter about the kids doing a mechanical pencil exchange on Friday during the party.  Please make sure that the pencils are appropriate for a girl or a boy, that they are wrapped, and your child's name is the only name on the package. 

Thanks!  Have a great weekend.

Good morning-

Just wanted to remind everyone that we get to go to the Santa Shop tomorrow morning.  Please make sure that your child has money if you would like them to shop for gifts. 

We will be taking the unit 5 math test tomorrow.  We reviewed in class yesterday and today. Please go over the study guides with your child. 

The kids will take their spelling test on Friday. Their spelling words are on the back of the Family Times.  Make sure that they have studied. 

Have a great day!

December 8, 2011

Good afternoon-

Just a reminder that we will be taking a spelling test, vocabulary test, and a reading comprehension test tomorrow.  Please make sure that your child is prepared.

Next week Reading Street is a review week.  We will review all the skills we worked on the last 5 weeks. The kids will take a longer reading comprehension test this week.  There will be a spelling test on Friday-the list of words is on the Family Times.

It looks like we will be taking the unit 5 math test next week. 

Our class goes to the Santa Shop on Wednesday, the 14th of December.  If your child is going to buy stuff at the Santa Shop, please make sure that they have their money on Wednesday.

Have a great night!
Mrs. Amann
