August 13-17

First off I would like to thank you all for such a great first week of school. All the students were very well behaved and very responsible in getting all of the paperwork signed and returned. There is additional paperwork that will go home this week, so please sign and return the next day.

We are running a regular routine this week, so if you have any questions please let me know!

This week's reading story is Rope Burn.

This week's reading standard is conflict, plot, and resolution.

This week's vocabulary words are humiliation, fringes, expectations, coaxed, sincere, and hesitating.

This week's grammar skill is idioms.

Homework goes home on Mondays. The homework is not due until Fridays. Homework is not required, but can be bonus points on their test grades. If your child chooses not to complete the homework, I still need them to return the homework sheet and the copy of the story on Friday.

There is a reading test on Friday. It will consist of a cold read passage including problem/solution questions and idiom questions, comprehension questions about Rope Burn and vocabulary sentences.

• I am still accepting classroom donation of $35.00. Thanks to the parents of Brooks, Morgan, Landon, Natalie, Aaliyah, Mason, and Caelyx for already sending in the donation.

Coming Up Soon:

• Sept 4 NO School (Labor Day)

Looking forward to a wonderful week of learning!
