Hello Families! Your children had a very productive week last week. Watching the eclipse was especially exciting! Thank you to all our wonderful families who have sent in their $3.00 donations. Thank you to all the families who sent in $5.00 to help out! YOU are AMAZING! Donations are still being accepted until we reach our $75.00 goal. Thank you!
I feel like I am really getting to know your children and we are establishing our routines. I look forward to seeing you at Back To School Night on Thursday, August 31 at 7:30 p.m., room 23. The Book Fair will open at 5:30 p.m. for your shopping pleasure. They always have a very nice selection of books.
Our classroom visit to the Book Fair is on Monday, August 28. If you would like your child to be able to purchase books, please send him/her with money on Monday.
Last week in reading, we read about Living Traditions and Vanishing Cultures. This week we will read Tales from Timbuktu. Our class novel is A Dog's Purpose. I love this book! It is about a dog who lives multiple lives until he realizes his ultimate purpose. The book is told from the dog's perspective and includes some really funny passages.
We completed our first set of spelling words this week. Students will be quizzed on their words every Friday. Students have a printed list of words that they will bring home every week. This week we are on spelling Week 2 (1.2) Our spelling routine will be to take a spelling pretest on Monday, and write their words in their agenda on Tuesday. We will go over these words in class and make sure that children are familiar with them. Students will take their spelling test at school on Friday.
Thursday Folders will come home every Thursday. This past week, there was not a lot of graded work in the folder. At the beginning of the year, we also do lots of our work together as I am trying to establish routines and expectations.
This coming Thursday, we will get to attend a fun Character Counts assembly!
I think that is all for now! Thank you for sharing you awesome children with me! I am really enjoying them!

Thank you for returning the Eagle Day Contracts! We just have a few unsigned and hope they will be returned soon! A second copy of the Eagle Day contract went home on Friday, May 19 with students who have not yet returned them. They are due by June 2, 2017. To attend, students must have less that nine refocuses from May 16- June 6. Also, all work from 5/16-6/2 must be completed and up-to-date.
Please make sure that kids are working on their Mission Boards. These are to be completed at home and returned by Monday, May 22. Thank you to the children who sent them in this week. They look marvelous! Please do not send in extra credit projects until May 25th.
We hope that everyone will be able to make it to Open House on Thursday, May 25. There will be a lot happening that night at our school. There will be three food trucks and the book fair will be open in the library! We are also excited for you to see all of the projects that we have been working on!!
We will be testing on Spelling 7.2 on Friday, May 26. We are still doing reading logs this week and Math homework. Please ask your child if they have received their Xtra Math Certificate. It is worth points!
I will be sending a sign up genius in the near future for our End-of-the Year party, and for Fun Day Volunteers for Wed., June 7.
Have a great week!
