This week's focus skill is Cause and Effect. 

This week's vocabulary words are reputation, yearning, escapades, bellowing, betrayed, outcast, withered, and unfathomable.

Reading homework goes home on Monday. It is not due until Friday. I grade a portion of this homework, so please make sure it is answered correctly and your child uses their reading book to find those answers.

There will be a reading test on Friday. It will consist of a cold read passage and question set, comprehension questions about this week's story, and vocabulary sentences.

Last week's tests will go home on Tuesday.

If your child makes a D (60-69) or an F (59 and below), please sign the test and return it by Friday.  

Please continue to talk with your child about their school work, homework, conduct, notes from the school/teachers, etc. I will continue to sign conduct folders for failure to bring materials to class, failure to return signed papers, behavior, etc!

Let me know if you need me in any way!

Coming Up Soon:

• Progress Reports go home Monday, September 11. Please review, sign, and return by Friday.
• Open House Tuesday, September 12 from 6:00-7:00.
• Everyone wear BLUE on Friday, September 15th for Alopecia Awareness Day.

Please send to school with your child an inexpensive pair of head phones or ear buds for computer lab. Thanks to everyone who has already sent them in.

Remember if your child is absent, I need a parent's or doctor's excuse when they return.
