Friendly Reminders:

• First Grading Period Ends - Our first nine week grading period ends today. Grades for report cards will be available for parents to view next week. A paper copy of the report card will go home soon. 
• Fall School Picture - Wednesday, October 20 at 8:40am (after Specials). 
• Spelling Quiz - The spelling list for these groups is on Schoology in the "Writing" Course - Red Spelling Folder. Our current list focuses on the Long "u" sound patterns. Students are encouraged to practice their words at home.  Our next spelling quiz is on Friday, October 22.
• Science Test - Unit 3 Forms of Energy test will be on Friday, October 22. Check Schoology and this website's Science Links for additional support and practice at home. 
• Fractions Test - We'll be studying fractions for the next few weeks. Our unit test will either be on October 28 or October 29. Students can practice their fractions skills and concepts by using the "Math links" on this website, Splash Learn and DreamBox.
• Assignments are not all posted on Schoology. As we transition back to "normal in-person" schooling this year, teachers are going back to lessons, activities and assignments that are not virtual (on Schoology). With that being said, Schoology and Class Link is an excellent resource for teachers, parents and students to use to "supplement" our classroom curriculum. ​
• Class Dojo - Check messages and your child's daily participation by tapping on the Class Dojo app each day. I try to post almost daily a Class Story to share a tidbit of what's going on in our classroom for parents. Each month I'll print off a Class Dojo report and send it home in Thursday folders. Thanks so much for all your support. 
• Water bottle - Please, make sure your child has a water bottle in his/her backpack everyday. It's super hot outside and the water fountains are not accessible right now (only the refilling stations).
