Dog Dash
Parents,
We will run/walk/jog/skip the Dog Dash on Friday, September 10 beginning at 10:50. The "paws" path will be set up in the Lincoln parking lot (as it was last year). Please come join us or at least cheer us on as we "move-it" to raise money for ALL students at Brown!
Don't forget to wear your t-shirts and bandanas--we should get those by Friday morning!

Math Tests Again . . .
I've received a few math tests back. If you'd like me to recalculate your grade, you NEED to get your test to my by Thursday or the grade will remain the same.'
That said, as I'm recalculating the grades, the total points possible is 37. Since that's a smaller amount of points, many of the scores are changing to a lower score than originally received. Therefore, I'm keeping the highest score of the two.
Thanks again for your flexibility with this new math program!

September 3 News
WELCOME DANIEL to our class! We are so excited to have him back here at Brown!
Students: Please return your Study Links workbooks on Tuesday for a piece of gum. Another challenge I'm seeing is the lack of extra practice students are receiving outside of school to work on the day's skill. Therefore, I'm revamping the Study Links workbooks and how I will incorporate them into the math program.
Book Club summaries due next week. Remember to record your reading minutes for the reading contest for the month of September. Every 100 minutes/100 yards read, each reader scores an individual touchdown! Do you want to be the Super Bowl Readin Champ or MVR (Most Valuable Reader)?
Classroom Chronicle:
We did not get to the chronicle again this week. We WILL fit it in next week, or that's the plan anyway!
Next week: It's a short week, therefore we WILL NOT have a spelling list next week. We WILL have a new vocabulary list and test on Friday.
ENJOY THE THREE DAY WEEKEND! Come to school ready to go Tuesday morning!

Math Test Scores Unit 1
After further review of the Unit 1 math test, I've decided to take Part B out of the total for the test scores(backside of test, bottom half). Therefore, in order to be fair, I would LOVE for the kids to return their tests to me on Tuesday. I will then recalculate the score before I enter the grade into the gradebook. I apologize to you all for this, but this new math program has it challenges and this is one of them! Please be flexible along with us and we'll figure it out soon! Thanks for understanding!
