On the last day of each week, students will bring their graded papers and spelling lists for the next week home in their GAME files--the last file slot is designated for these papers. PLEASE ask your child for these papers and discuss his or her achievements as well as struggles for the week. If a child receives a D or less on an assignment or test, I offer a special treat for giving the effort to fix the page. I DO NOT change the grade.
Math tests are coming home today in these papers. Some students were correcting their tests here at school today, so it's possible their tests will not get home. However, the scores were up on Power School as of Monday.
Thanks for your help with fixing papers! This task will greatly benefit your child as he or she prepares for the next week!

Check out one of these sites if you're looking for a great place to find a book to read over fall break! I've enjoyed reading for as long as I can remember, but I remember struggling to find books that I truly could "dive" into. James Patterson and Oprah Winfrey offer top suggestions for books for kids of all age! Enjoy a good book this weekend! I'd love to hear all about it!

This week's update:
Spelling test Wednesday!
Students MUST complete the reading of Chapters 7-11 from Island of the Blue Dolphins by Wednesday. The packet pages through page 27 MUST be completed, too. We will have time on Tuesday to allow for working time on these two tasks.
We WILL NOT have a vocabulary list this week.
Countdown summaries are due next Friday, October 29 for ALL students. The summary MUST be revised/edited by at least two adults/older siblings prior to that date. The summary MUST be typed and five paragraphs in length. An informational sheet, in which should be handed in with the final summary copy, was sent home last Thursday, allowing for two weeks to complete this task.
We WILL have math homework Monday and Tuesday of this week. Mondays homework is page 75 4.1 Study Link. Tuesdays homework will come home on Tuesday. It will most likely be page 76 4.2 Study Link, but we will determine that on Tuesday during our math block.
We DO NOT have school on Thursday or Friday!!! Enjoy a few days of fall break to yourself!

Art to Remember
"Art to Remember" packets are coming home today. You will find your child's art, a magnet of the art, and a catalog with order form. This is an excellent opportunity, not only to support the school, but to purchase holiday gifts for your family members!
If you would like to order, please return the envelope with payment and order form by October 27. The magnet inside the packet is NOT free. If you wish to keep the magnet, please make the proper payment and return to school with your order form. The packet must include the orginal art piece, too, if you're NOT purchasing from "Art to Remember".
Thanks again for supporting one of Brown's fundraisers that brings supplies into your child's classroom!
