November 29 - December 3, 2010

I hope all of you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for braving the weather to make a conference with me.

You should have received a green form home on Monday asking for volunteers and supplies for our gingerbread celebration on December 17th. Please let me know if you can help.

We will be starting our Money unit in reading. If you have foreign currency to share, please send it in with your child. I am not responsible for any lost or stolen money. :) Students should be at 40% of their AR goal. Please check on the AR site to see where your child is.

In math, we will be completing our units on multiplication. Please be practicing math facts with your student at home nightly. Be looking for flashcards to be part of nightly homework. A great math site is www.coolmath-games.com

Spelling words for this week are:
have, book, move, cut, stood, stop, leave, begin, leaving, foot, having, beginning, moving, stopping, cutting, problem, and explain

Please remember that conferences are:
Friday, November 19th (early release)
Monday, November 22nd (no school)
Tuesday, November 23rd (early release)
I would request that your child attend the conference with you.

We have early release on Wednesday, November 24th and no school on the 25th and 26th for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Please make sure your child is studying their spelling words weekly. Tests are on Friday. Also, be sure your child has an AR book read each night to test on the following day. You may have heard from your student that we have been challenged by Mrs. Earley's class on who can reach 2,000 AR points first. Right now, we are leading!!! Go room 15~
