Weekly Newsletter 9/7/10

**NOTES TO PARENTS**
Thank you to those that attended our Open House. It was a huge success.

Our character trait for September is trustworthiness. The students will vote on who they think has been the most trustworthy during the month. This student will have lunch with the principal.

If you have a fingerprint clearance card and would be willing to go on a field trip with our class please contact me as soon as possible. I would love to have a few field trips this year but need parents/grandparents, aunts/uncles with fingerprint clearance cards.

I have a blog you can access through the La Paloma website www.lpatucson.org or missfite.blogspot.com. Every week I will post a copy of my current newsletter along with the spelling words for the week.

Progress Reports will come home with every student on Monday, September 13th. Attached to the progress report will be a signature page. Please sign and return. If you would like a conference please indicate on the signature page.

Please feel free to contact me through the school at 721-4205 or email misty_fite@yahoo.com.

** WHAT WE ARE LEARNING**
In Phonics, we will concentrate on consonant digraphs.

In Math, we will be adding 10 to a two-digit number and subtracting 10 from a two-digit number using mental computation, writing the date using digits, and dividing squares into two, four, and eight equal parts.

In writing and language arts, we will continue our work on sentence structure.

In Science, we will be learning about tools of science and building a universe.
