Just a few reminders...

Just a few reminders for you....

In Spelling, we have begun Unit 2. Spelling City has been updated with the list. It is a great resource to help practice the week's words as well as past week's words for the spelling test on Friday.

The Math pretest or Checkup is being sent home today. The test for Topic 1 is tomorrow. Students should be able to do the work independently. However, they have been told that if they have any issues, they should let me know while we are correcting the assignment together so that all questions are answered before the test.

Last day to order Scholastic Books for September is on the 28th. If you haven't gotten your order in, please do so ASAP.

We are reading Stone Fox during reading. Ask your child about it. Students are enjoying this book and sharing their connections.

SpellingCity.com

SpellingCity.com is a great resource to use at home to help review and teach the week's spelling words. Students can also practice past week's words by playing fun games. This will also help your child in becoming an independent, lifelong learner.

Scholastic Book Club

Going home today are two order forms from Scholastic Books. I have also included a letter from me explaining how you can order books online at scholastic.com/bookclubs and using the Class Activation Code: GW9ZN.

When you go to the site above, click on the "Register" button in the "First Time Here?" section. Register for your own user name and password and when prompted, enter the one-time Class Activation Code shown above. This unique code ensures that your order is sent to me.

You can choose from thousands of books - many more than in the monthly flyers. Books will be distributed in the classroom. Best of all, we earn a FREE book for the classroom library every time a parent places an online order.

You may still send your order in with you child - make sure all checks are made payable to Scholastic. However, ordering online is fast, easy and secure.

Last day to order for the month of September is Wednesday, the 28th.

Great first week!

We had a great first week of school! Considering the events that led to the first day/week of school, students did a great job. I am very proud of them.

Open House/Back to School Night - Thursday, September 15 at 7pm. Please make every effort to come and learn about your child's day and his/her fourth grade year. I'm looking forward to meeting you then.

Who would of thought......

Who would have thought that we would be delayed an entire week! This storm made a mess of things. Rest assured that the first day of school, however, went very well. Students seemed to enjoy the day and they recieved quite a few compliments.

They are coming home with a lot of forms and paper-work to be completed and returned to school. Please make sure to review the Take-Home Folder with your child each night and return any forms as soon as possible.

Our Back to School Night/Open House will be next Thursday, September 15. I will get back to you with a time.

Again - we had a great first day! Looking forward to all the rest!
