Parents:  Would you like to help Capshaw School while you shop for groceries?  We have Kroger cards for sale that will benefit Capshaw!
Here's all you have to do:
1) Send $5 to school with your child (to me) and mark for Kroger.
2)  I will send the Kroger card home to you and it will already be loaded with $5.
3) Take your card to Kroger and go to the customer service desk to "load" it with money (whatever you are planning to spend).
4) When you checkout, Capshaw will receive a portion each month!
EASY WAY TO HELP OUR SCHOOL!!  


Things to note or remember: 
*Information has gone home about 4-H speeches.  This speech is required and will be on Tuesday, Dec. 1.  Be ready!
*Colonial Day is Dec. 4.  Please send in the $3 to cover supplies for the "event" and an empty, clean soup can.

*4th grade students have been given information about a graphic novel project.  If your child has not selected his/her book, please do so soon.  Your child should have read the graphic novel BEFORE the Monday of Thanksgiving week, and the project will be completed entirely at school.



*If you are ordering Scholastic books on-line, you will need the following information (the password originally sent out was incorrect):
username (or class name)=woodkids
password=cougar4
 
*We need each child in 4th grade to bring in a pack on 4X6 notecards (they are available at Dollar Tree) for a vocabulary project.

 *Our specials schedule will vary week to week, so be sure and check our website on THIS WEEK link!
*Check your child's planner each night--if there is nothing written in it--something is wrong!  Wonderkids should be writing on Mondays, assignments that we already know will be due.  As the week progresses, they should add to the planner, if needed (math, unfinished work from school, etc).
 
*Ask your Wonderkid about Study Island! They have enjoyed playing at school and are welcome to explore Study Island at home with your permission.


I have added a HOMEWORK page to my website. This will give you an idea of what assignments your child is expected to complete each week. Students are given time each day to write in planners and should use them as a tool. Daily assignments could
be adjusted, and ultimately the students are responsible for having assignments completed. This is the time to make students accountable--it will benefit them in the "long run."


*PLEASE STUDY MULTIPLICATION and DIVISION MATH FACTS!!!!!

---Please check your child's planner for homework assignments. Some assignments are long-term, so students need to work a little each night. This is the time to develop good work habits!


*Check out THIS WEEK for curriculum info!
