We are now into the beginning of the second quarter. Report cards will go out on Friday. They need to be signed and returned by the following Friday. It is a new quarter and it is a good time to remind your children to think about always doing their best work, to complete their work, and to work quietly in the classroom.
Several permission slips for the Pumpkin Patch have not been signed and returned. Remember they are due by Friday, October 17. A number of parents have offered to drive, but many of you do not have the insurance forms, car registration forms or driver's license copies turned into the office. These must be turned in by Friday, October 17. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
We are now in Level 2 in Reading. We continue to work on vocabulary, cause and effect, categories, sequencing, contractions, plurals, short a and short i, the digraph th, possessives and the s, ed, and ing endings added to base words. In Math we are finishing up addition and will be starting subtraction this week. Please continue to review math addition facts and to start working on math subtraction facts at home. We will be giving timed tests in both addition and subtraction. In Social Studies we are beginning a unit on the United States and its symbols. We are finishing up the ecosystem in Science. In Religion we will be starting to learn about the saints.
We will be testing your children on vocabulary words during the next 2 weeks. Please review these words nightly. The reading workbook pages can be difficult if your child does not recognize the vocabulary words.
