Reminder

The words sent home for spelling are for practice only. There is no assignment attached to them :).
Good Evening,
Sunday brings so much action in my family.  My older boys are in basketball, so we are starting with games already. Any errands, cleaning or schoolwork not accomplished on Saturday is done and of course plenty of football watching. Thus, the lateness of my posting...

The week ahead ...
Monday is the kickoff for One School One Book and Red Ribbon Week. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMuGfpivBk4C0Q9CInIB0t93GCK7Y9vlQFrS3TGobSBZJRnTj4QyqPsIEyqr79A1ifslsjx8iK8AqxUfxrEry7vezy-qY0kVlmURImSI52RDFZ5NiZtpkY454Q4VZCoTeM9oqUxAYkx5A/s1600/red+ribbon+week.jpg. This link should take you to the happenings for the Red Ribbon Week activities.

Thursday is a half day and Halloween. Your child may wear their costumes that morning, but of course we ask that their faces are not covered and that there is no weaponry. We will be having our party that morning as well as art class.

Friday we are celebrating Isabella's birthday as well as visiting our reading buddies in Mrs. Ottman's 4th grade.

Recap from last week...
You may have noticed your child had the same book to read for a few days and over the weekend.  This will occur from time to time to enable the children to get comfortable practicing a particular strategy or learning new sight words. In this case, your children and I practiced looking closely at unfamiliar words and using familiar sounds or words inside of them to read that word.  We will review this Monday and move on to new texts.

Have a wonderful week!
