Weekly Newsletter 10/5/09

** WHAT WE ARE LEARNING**
In Phonics, we will learn about digraphs.
In Math, we will be working on adding multiples of 10 using mental computation, adding 3 and 4, using guess and check to solve a problem, and solving a problem by acting it out.
In writing and language arts, we are learning how to put ideas in order within a paragraph.
In Social Studies, the class will start to learn about majestic peaks and deserts.
**NOTES TO PARENTS**
There will be very little homework this week if any. Since Friday was the last day for grades for the first quarter I will be reviewing some concepts that the students did not completely understand during this week.
We will not have a spelling test this week but are going to still have spelling words. There will be normal assignments during this week for spelling.
September’s Character Trait was Trustworthiness. Our class chose Darian Taylor as most trustworthy. He had lunch with the principal as his reward.
Thursday, October 8th is our 40 day of school. Our class will be learning and performing a number of plays on this day. Parents are welcome to come from 9 to 10 to watch these plays. This is a normal school day so students need to remain at school after their performance. We will have refreshments after the plays. We are having a free dress down day for the 40th day as well.
October 7th is Dress Down Day. Students may wear anything except flip-flops, spaghetti straps, muscle shirts, or anything with violence on it. If you do not want your child to participate in Dress Down Day you child may wear normal uniforms.
Parents please remember Friday is report card day. We will dismiss at 11:30 with no after school and no lunch. We are also out of school on Monday and Tuesday of next week.
