Week of November 2

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! I can't believe it is November already! This week, we are studying the phases of the moon in Science, working on adverbs and pronouns in Language and we are also doing some journal writing. We are now in the second quarter, which means we have a new AR goal to meet. Our AR goal for the quarter is 15 points. Please encourage your child to reach their goal so they can take part in the AR reward for second quarter.

Also, I would like to have less late homework warnings in class this quarter. Please check your child's planner at night and make sure that their homework assignments are completed before returning to school the next day.

We have a Spelling test on Friday. Your child should have their Spelling words written in his/her planner. We practice the everyday, but it is also helpful if they practice them at home. Our words for this week are:

lotion
