Here are some “ Homework” assignments you can have your child do while stuck at home for the next few days. If they complete the assignments And bring them to school for me to see, tell them they will get to put some goodies in their Halloween buckets. Spelling- lesson 8- write words neatly three times each. Write words in 5 different colors. Do a practice spelling test. I’m still planning to have the spelling test on Friday. Math: write the double facts three times each...0+0=0 through 10+10=20. Make flash cards of the double facts. Read a book and write a sentence telling me who the story was about and why you liked it. Read a book to take an AR test on. You can look on Mrs. Niegers site (Media) to find the link to look up a book to see if it has an AR test. Write a story about the storm. What did you do during the storm? How did you feel? Draw a picture. Please feel free to do all or none. These are just some ideas in case your child gets bored.

Parent / Teacher conferences will be next week on Thursday and Friday afternoon. Your scheduled time will be sent home in your child's folder as soon as we return to school after the storm. The schedule is posted here. Just click the blue link above to see the full schedule.

Click on blue title List 1-5 are below under new reading and spelling series.

First and second grades will be going on a field trip to the Mattie Kelly Arts Center on Wednesday, September 26 for the 9:45 showing. We will be departing from the school at 8:15, attending the show, stopping at Liza Jackson Park for lunch, and returning to the school by 1:00. The students need to wear their uniforms and bring a packed lunch. If it rains, we will bring our lunches back to the school and eat in our classrooms. We only have enough room for 3 chaperones per class. Please email us as soon as possible to let us know if you would like to chaperone. We will email you right back to let you know if we still have room. Permission slips will be sent home this Friday. I have attached a copy to this message. Click on the blue title.

A form will be coming home in your child's folder today! You can now put money in lunch accounts on the computer and your child will not have to bring checks or cash to school any more! This is so exciting! I wanted you to know it will be in the folder so you don't think it's just another advertisement. Please consider this for your lunchroom expenses. :-) It will help the teachers of little ones so much! :-)
