Happy Monday Everyone!
Fall is here, but it doesn't quite feel like it yet! Please continue to allow your child to bring in a water bottle. They get quite hot and thirsty after PE and recess.
Conference Day is next week. I look forward to meeting with all of you next week!
This week we will have out spelling test as usual on Friday, but we will postpone our vocabulary quizzes until next Monday...more time to prepare!
It is essential that your child knows addition and subtraction facts by heart. Counting on fingers at this point greatly slows your child down. Later in the year they will be encouraged to learn multiplication facts by heart. If your child has mastered the addition/subtraction facts, it's not too early to get started on those multiplication facts!
Hope you all have a fantastic week!

September 19th
Hello Everyone!
We had our typical Monday morning share today, and it sounds like the children all had a good weekend! They moved their desks today. That's always fun...they have new neighbors!
Be on the lookout today for the envelope with graded work. I have also graded the geography projects, and they are going home today as well. It was fun seeing their creativity in the projects.
I am starting a new weekly homework project. There is a worksheet coming home that the children are assigned to read and answer the questions on the back. There is a spot for parents to sign as well. This reading sheet should be turned in on Friday. Reading comprehension is so key to being a good reader, and this extra little piece helps.
Our new vocabulary words that will be tested on September 30th are:
Wordly Wise-
ambition, auction, coast, current, frail, intelligent, novel, resident, starve, volunteer
Collection Vocabulary-
performers, pounces, amazingly, rope, interrupted, attributes, dappled, scribbling, tamales, drifts, commences, continuation, altar, crackle, straining
Wishing you all a wonderful week!
Ms. Mitchell

Happy Monday Everyone!
There is a family tree homework assignment going home tonight. It is due on Friday. Your child will need some help with this project. Please make sure they cut out the "tree" and paste it onto the blank white paper I provided. This will allow them room around the sides and bottom of the tree to display family pictures. They may draw them if they prefer. The project is due Friday, and I will display them in the class.
Also, the geography landform project is due this Wednesday. The children will have the opportunity to share them with their classmates.
Our first math test will take place on Tuesday. In class on Monday the children will take a practice test. They will be able to take this test home to study for the test. I'm confident they will do well on this first math test.
This Friday they will take their spelling test, as usual, and will also be quizzed over the Wordly Wise and Collection Vocabulary words.
