Reminders
The long division test is tomorrow during math time.
There will be no spelling list this week because of the short week.
There will be no night writes assigned this week, either.
Our class will participate in the turkey trot on Tuesday, November 24th during specials time at 10:15-11:05. Parents are encouraged to come trot with your child.
This Wednesday through Friday, there will be no school for the Thanksgiving Holiday.
Monday folders went home today. In the Monday folders, you will find OLSAT scores for those students that tested this year. Also, grade reports were sent home for the mid-nine weeks period. Please sign and return one copy and keep a copy for your records. As always, you can check on your child's grades or missing assignments through Home Access. Please remember to sign the Monday folder and return it tomorrow.
Also, if your child has a failing grade on any test but is above a 50, you may indicate to me that you would like your child to retake it. Just send a note with the assignment so that I'll know to have him/her retake it. A student may not be able to make up a test if it is from a previous nine weeks, as I am not allowed to go back and change grades from the previous nine weeks.
Planners/assignment books will be written in everyday even if there is no homework. "No homework" will be written in the allotted space. Otherwise, students are responsible for copying items belonging in the planner and returning any necessary homework the very next day.

We will continue reading groups. Each group has a book according to their reading level. Books that we will be reading are: Staying Nine, Ralph S. Mouse, The Mouse and the Motorcycle and Stone Fox.
