We are hoping to see you at the Open House. Classrooms will be open at 11:00 and will close at 2:00. We also hope you are continuing to sell items for our catalog sale. School pictures will be held on Tuesday, September 9th and Wednesday, September 10th. We never know which day will be ours.
This week your children will start spelling. A spelling list will go home on Tuesday and they will have a practice spelling test on Thursday and will then take the final spelling test on Friday. The Friday test is the grade that will be recorded. We will also be adding challenge words in a week or two.
This is in regards to the reading packet that was on the front of your child's work on Friday. Each reading workbook packet is worth 25 points. We have chosen that number as many of the answers are given to your child, and some of the pages do not have much on them. The grade that your child receives on this packet is a good indicator of their progress in reading.
Progress reports will be handed out on Friday. They are to be read, signed and returned to the teacher.
Just a reminder:
All planners are to be signed and returned the following day. Please take time to read and sign it. It is your child's responsibility to take the planner home and to bring it back.
Some of your children are unsure of the meaning of these math terms: before, after, less than, fewer than, greater than and more than. We are working on them in class and it really helps if they are reinforced at home. We are getting ready to take a math test on all of the things we have covered over the last several weeks. It is important to review their math papers. Once we start addition we will be giving addition timed tests. That is one of our school's goals this year: to improve in math computation.
If your child is having a birthday, treats are welcome. Just let the teacher know in advance. If your child is having a party, invitations may not be passed out at school unless all the class is invited or it is an all girls or all boys party. There are 18 children in Mrs. Mills' class and 19 in Mrs. Bellini's class.
