Dear Parents,
Instead of the usual ELA quiz, Religion assessments were given on Friday based on the Safe Environment Curriculum taught during the week. This included several worksheets provided in the curriculum as well as a writing piece using key word notes and a poster with a slogan to show their understanding of stranger danger awareness, home alone rules, and the buddy system.
There is a Book Fair this week. Flyers were sent home on Friday. Students should have an idea of what they want to purchase and bring the correct amount of money in a purse to avoid loss.
A Spelling/Handwriting quiz will be given to all classes on Monday based on the words below. I will let you know on Tuesday if it will be possible to give a Grammar quiz on Thursday since Friday is HALLOWEEN! Please make sure students STUDY the spelling and practice joining the letters correctly in script (3rd & 4th only) since this score will make a difference in the total ELA grade when it is averaged in.
FOURTH GRADE SPELLING WORDS:
usually, heard, friend, however, door, order, during, better, short, didn't
THIRD GRADE SPELLING WORDS:
light, thought, under, story, don't, while, might, example, close, beginning
SECOND GRADE SPELLING WORDS:
sentence, think, great, where, through, before, right, much, good, any
On Halloween all third graders (home room) should come dressed in their costume and will wear their costume all day. Students will not be allowed to change clothes in school. Costumes should be a safe length. Sine the Pre K and kindergarten classes will form a parade for trick or treat, it is important that each student bring one large bag of small sealed candy pieces to give out to them and bring one other treat to share with their own third grade class. Students will be assigned to bring in candies, cookies, or snacks so that we have an assortment. Each student should bring their own small juice containers (I suggest at least two or three for the day). I will be ordering pizza for the class so each student will need to bring in five dollars by Wednesday. If you do not want pizza, please bring in your own lunch that day. Students may not bring in any large bottles or glass bottles. Home made treats are allowed but please enough for 22 students. Students are NOT allowed to bring in electronics games but board games or playing cards are allowed.
Finally, EXAMS will begin on Nov. 4th. ALL students will need to study the quizzes which WILL be sent home for review since exams will be based on these and the study guide that will be posted on the blog by this Friday.
