Week of 11/17/08
Dear Parents,
Can you believe how fast time is flying by? This week we will be studying the following in school: Math (Money), Science (Earth Materials), Social Studies (Native Americans).
I have changed the setting on Accelerated Reader Reports. Starting this week you will no longer receive a report unless the student failed the reading test. I’ve had to do this to conserve on computer paper and ink. When you receive a failed report please sign and return the report the next day so I will know you’ve seen it.
Dates to remember: 11/26-28 Thanksgiving Holiday, 12/5 Gattiland Field Trip, 12/19 End of Quarter, 12/22-1/2 Christmas Break, 1/19 MLK (No School).
Homework for this week: Monday-Thursday: Do Think Link probe for Math and Reading by Friday. Vocabulary words 15 minutes each night, Read 15 minutes each night and write a two sentence summary with Title, and Author, and telling what you did for homework: Have a parent sign and return to school in the morning. Vocabulary words: Words can always be found prior to our reading story (This week Little Grunt), in the Vocabulary story (in the reading text): omelet, brunch, peaceful, escape, erupting, and lava.
