Picture day is coming up. It is Wednesday, September 30th. Information for ordering is going home in today's Friday Folder.
Also, the Walk-a-thon is coming up. It is one week from today. Fundraising envelopes went home on Monday. Please send the envelope back to class even if it is empty.
We need a few volunteers for the classroom. I would love some help with Friday Folders. If you can come in and help on Fridays it would be wonderful! Also, the last Tuesday of each month I need a volunteer to help with Map testing. The students are given a map at the beginning of the month and they get to chose a level, 1-5 to test too. On the last Tuesday of the month they will be asked to identify places on a map. I need a volunteer to help with the testing. It usually takes about 30-45 minutes.
We have finished Unit 1 in math and now students can start Unit 2 videos and quizzes.
Have a great weekend!

Hello,
We are at the end of the math unit and I would like to clarify a few things. We will have a couple of nights at the end of each unit that students do not need to do a math video and quiz. In class we are finishing up Homework and Remembering and reviewing. On the day we take the unit test, that evening they will start the next unit videos and quizzes. This week it looks like we will be taking the Unit 1 test tomorrow, Thursday, which means Thursday night they will have the Unit 2 Lesson 1 video and quiz. I hope that helps to clarify things.

Happy Monday,
Thank you to everyone that turned in the JA Biztown permission slip and $15. We are going on October 6th. If you haven't yet turned in the money please do so as soon as possible.
Students have been doing a great job of keeping up on their homework. Typically they have a math video and quiz online each night. They also need to do 30 minutes of reading and fill out their reading log every night.
This week we are finishing up Unit 1 in Math. We will take the test either Wednesday or Thursday. It depends on how much we need to review. Watch the homework calendar to see which day we schedule it for.
Next week we will start spelling. We will be using www.spellingcity.com for pretests, posttests, and activities. It will mainly be done in class. However, you will be able to have your child log in so you can see what they are doing.
They also have had great questions to help them clarify things that they have not understood. Besides learning new information in all subject areas, we are also working on our self control and direction following.
That is all that is racing through my brain right now. As I can update you on more things I will.

Hello Everyone,
We are off to a great start this year. Last week was a little hot in the room and the cooler weather this week has helped a lot!
Last night was the first night I assigned the first Flipped Math video and quiz. Hopefully, everything went well. If not we will trouble shoot problems today.
Everyone has turned in their Emergency Cards, but, from some people, I am still looking for $6.00 for National Geographic magazine and a letter from parents telling me about your student. If you have not sent these in to me, please try and get them to me soon. I would appreciate it.
There is a homework calendar link on the website and I realized yesterday it is not working. I will work on getting it up an running soon. Please keep checking back.
Here are some messages from the PTA:

Come mingle with other parents and teachers, enjoy a few appetizers, and hear from the PTA co-Presidents on what we're planning for the year ahead. Bring any questions you may have about the PTA, and we'll answer them.

It's Friday! It's Homecoming night at the high school! To celebrate in spirit (but earlier in the afternoon, in case you want to catch the game), come join us in the gym for some fun activities, a few snacks, and spend a little time getting to know the other students, families, and teachers at school.
Have a great day! Thanks for checking my blog and staying up-to-date!
