Updates!

I hope you all had a nice, long Labor Day weekend!  We have a short week, with quite a bit going on!  

Curriculum: 
In math we are continuing to learn about comparing, ordering, and rounding numbers.  Your child will be taking their chapter 2 quiz over these skills on Thursday.  Study guides will come home tonight, but they will have two nights to complete them to get ready for the quiz.  

In reading we are learning to write about our thinking during reading.  We will use post-its to track our thinking, and then begin to learn to turn our post-its into letters about our reading.  

In writing we are beginning our personal narrative unit in writing.  We will be generating ideas this week for our personal narrative thinking about small important moments from our lives.  

In spelling we are going to be working on each group's spelling skill.  Your child will also be practicing their spelling words using a tic tac toe board with choices such as, writing their words in cursive, or finding the vowels in their words.  We will have our first spelling test next Friday, September 13.  All words should be stapled in their planners.  

Others News and Events:
Tuesday Night is our first Sptg meeting of the year in the cafeteria at 6:45.  There will be teachers on the playground to watch your children if needed!  

Bus Driver's Day - Friday we celebrate our school bus drivers.  These folks have the task of getting our students to school and home safely each day.  Feel free to make cards thanking them if your child rides the bus! 

Back to Football Friday - Please wear Rams gear or blue/gold on Friday.  You can also feel free to add a Fisher mustache or any football gear you have laying around at home.  We will have an assembly Friday morning to celebrate the NFL Play 60 program.

We can donate our time or M&M's for this event, or just stop by with your family.  

We are also having a hat day on Wednesday.  Students can wear a hat to school for a $1 contribution to the Gapsch fund.
