September 30-October 4

This week is review week. No reading story. We will be doing activities to reinforce the reading standard.

This week's reading standard to review is Cause and Effect.

This week's grammar skill to review is homographs.

This is the 1st 9 weeks' spelling words: unsuccessful, undoubtedly, enjoyable, disloyalty, disconnected, unreadable, replacement, unsafely, uncollectible, unhelpful, impassible, encouragement, disrespectful, unselfishly, rearrangement, discoverable, dishonestly, unbreakable, reappearance, unlikable. This spelling test is Friday, October 11th. The students have 2 weeks to study.

 Reading homework goes home on Monday. It is not due until Friday. Reading homework is not required, but bonus points are rewarded if the ones I choose to grade are correct.

There will be a reading test on Friday. It will consist of cold read passages that include cause and effect and homograph questions.

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.

ALSO, PLEASE HELP YOUR CHILD CLEAN OUT THEIR TAKE HOME FOLDERS AND TRAPPER KEEPERS. SOME STUDENTS STILL HAVE WORK IN THEM SINCE 4TH GRADE!!!!

Let me know if you need me in any way!

Coming Up Soon:

• Book Fair: September 30th-October 4th.
• Fall Picture Day: Monday, October 7th.

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. The supply kits provided them.
