Happy First Day of Fall!


I hope everyone has had a great week! We are entering our last week for our explorer in a box project. They are coming along nicely.  We plan on having our whole explorers unit wrapped up, fittingly, on Columbus Day (Oct. 10), which is coming up quick!

The application process is complete and everyone has been given a job at BizTown. Ask your child what their job will be if they haven’t told you already! A big thank you to all parents who are willing and able to volunteer. More information will come out within the coming weeks as well. You will be specifically trained that morning before we get there.

Remember to be recording your reading minutes and to turn them in (with your signed red folders) on Tuesday this week! I am still missing quite a few students from last week; I want to get out as many entry slips from our class as possible this week!

We are still focusing on respect this year in class and throughout the school.  Congrats to our classes two “respect kids” for the week. (I won’t put names on the blog but you know who you are and be sure to let your families know that you were chosen!) For the most part we do pretty well but every now and then I hear about some disrespectful behaviors on the playground…let’s remember to show respect to everyone no matter who they are or what’s happening. If there is ever a problem please let me, or someone know, so we can fix it!

Coming up this week:

  • No school on Monday…have a great 3-day weekend!

  • Math test on Tuesday…remember to study! And keep up the work on practicing timed tests. We took them again in class and I noticed a huge improvement; your practice is paying off!

  • Book Orders due on Tuesday

Thanks for all you do!
