kite
day
by
that
down

Please practice vocabulary every night.  You should be practicing all vocabulary words so far this year.  The more words they know will help improve their overall reading.  I know many of you have busy lives, but learning to read is the foundation for all learning.  Put them on cards, and then take them with you in the car.  This makes good use of time spent on the go.  Just a tip!

Spelling this week:



A note about spelling tests-  for now all students will continue taking both the practice and final spellings every week , even if they get 100% on the practice test.  This is good practice!  


**** This Friday, October 4, 2013 is Mass and Blessing of the Animals.  Please be sure your child is in full uniform.  Shorts are not allowed.  Also Friday is a minimum day 12:30 dismissal .  


Behavior in the classroom:
Many students have really figured out what they need to be doing.  I have many, though, that continue to talk, and distract the people around them.  This not only affects the learning of others, but they are affecting their learning as well.  Please discuss with them these few points:
They should not be talking when the teacher is talking-ever.  When we are transitioning to a new task, they need to be quiet so they can hear the directions- this has been the biggest problem in this class.  Also lining up or standing in line, they should not be talking either.  When I continue to have to remind them , it takes away from teaching time.  Please talk to your child about these points please.  Thanks for your support !
