Week of September 24th

Welcome back from a long weekend! I hope it was restful!

Sight Words:
We have 5 new sight words this week. They are:

1. did
2. get
3. yes
4. can
5. had

Science: 

Last week your student did their investigation on the pumpkin they brought in. They got to choose some seeds and put it in a bag so that we can watch the roots begin to grow! When the roots begin to grow, we will send them home and you are welcome to plant them or toss them :) Here they are in our window!

Transportation Changes:

Please remember that if your child will be going home a different way that usual you MUST call or email the office. Please don't email me on the off chance that I am home sick or haven't had a chance to check my email until the end of the day. Please don't just show up at the end of the day thinking we can just grab them off of the bus, sometimes that doesn't work out and the buses get dismissed before we get to your car. 

School Wide Book Celebration:

Each year our school chooses a book that every grade level will read and celebrate at the end of October. On our Book Celebration Day (October 31st) we will have a party and your student is invited to dress up like a character from the book. No weapons and modesty rules do apply. 

Homework: 

Your student will bring home their 3rd week of homework today. If they have not turned in their homework for the last two weeks, please help them get that in. It is a grade on their report card. I encourage them to keep it in their Home Folder on the "Return to School" side as a safe place. I won't take it out until it is due.
