Happy weekend to everyone! Spelling City word list 2.1 is in the system and ready to begin studying before next week!

Elections for our Classroom Representatives will be held in our classroom on Thursday, Oct. 3rd. We look forward to hearing speeches from Sadie, Molly, Anthony D., Cayden, Ethan C., and Brooke. After their speeches, the class will vote. Ballots will be submitted to Mrs. Boyes for counting, and then we will see who will be representing our classroom. Good luck, kiddos! You are ALL  amazing!

Friday, September 27, marks the end of our mid-trimester. Grades can be checked on Power School. Please remember this is not the final grade for the trimester, and grades can go up or down before the end of the trimester on November 15 when grades are final.

Just a reminder, the week of October 7-11 are all minimum days for students so that teachers can conference in the afternoons.  I am looking forward to meeting all of you and discussing your child's progress. Please remember to see the Sign Up Genius to select your time slot if you have not done so already. Parents who I have already met with do not need to sign up for a second conference. Thank you!

We are continuing to work on multi-digit by single-digit multiplication and multi-step word problems in math. This is SO difficult for students if they have not mastered their multiplication facts. If your child is still struggling to pass multiplication in X-tra Math, please support your child at home and practice their facts with them. Memorization of basic facts is essential to math success. In addition, PLEASE ask your child to use grid or graph paper to do the computation, and check their homework for accuracy. We will have our Chapter 2 test on multiplication this week.

We finished making our California Regions Maps! Yippee! Thank you to everyone who sent in clay! It was amazing!

Mrs. Yoho presented an Art Docent lesson and project last Wednesday! The students made amazing zentangle pumpkins!

This Friday is our Jog-A-Thon Color Run. Permission slips went home on Sept. 26 in the Thursday Folders. Only children who return the signed permission slip will be able to run the final lap through the color "wash". I participated in this last year, and it was quite fun! Wearing old white clothes works great to create a colorful look! The color stays on the clothing, so if you give permission to participate please remember to send your child in clothes that are okay to color for the run on Friday. Students who do not return the permission slip will not be able to run through the color.

Due to the Jog-A-Thon on Friday, we will need to cancel our library time. We will return to the school library on Friday, Oct. 11.

Thank you so much for all of your help and support!

Looking Ahead:
