Due to the busy and tiring week for your child, I will be giving a bit less homework. Please keep in mind that all homework is due on Thursday. Please check that both sides are completed entirely. Thank you.
There will be a grammar page sent home. Please make sure that the capital letters are TRUE capital letters. There should only be one in the sentence unless proper nouns are in the sentence. Your child is working hard on remembering to use capital letters at the beginning of every sentence and use punctuation and spacing. Their writing is improving DAILY! I'm so proud of them and how much they try and write about fun and interesting things. I have such an amazing class!!
Another homework page will be reviewing contractions as well as creating action words by adding 'ing'. We talk at school about "The King of ing" at the ending of words. Help your child by listening for the ing sound. Contractions this week will be contracting with the word, not. Please help your child add the eyelash (apostrophe) in the appropriate place. Discuss with your child what letters are squished out where the apostrophe is placed.

Testing Week/ Assessment Day on Friday
This week I will be having a substitute (wonderful Mrs. Johnson) on Tuesday and begin assessing the kids in math and reading. Also on Friday I will be putting together report cards and am beginning to think ahead to Parent/Teacher Conferences coming up in a few weeks. If any of you will be planning a trip during the week of Thanksgiving, please plan to schedule conferences ahead of time. This meeting time is very important for both of us to talk about how well your child is doing at school. Thank you so much!
Happy Halloween
Due to all of the excitement of the week, we are encouraging kids to limit the amount of candy sent to school. A piece or two is fine and expected but fist fulls as you can imagine, would cause all of us to turn incredibly zippy, then cranky and later need naps. I know the urge to get rid of the candy is alive and real but I would sure appreciate you being aware of how little leaves the house. Thank you so much for your attention and consideration.
