It finally feels like fall!

Agendas

Please don't forget to have your child bring their agenda to school every day!!  They need it to have their behavior chart, write down homework, and keep track of reminders!  Thanks for your help with this!

Reading Logs

Don't forget to have your child read/reading counts quiz for at least 15 minutes each night. Please sign the reading log nightly. Thanks for your help with homework!


Scholastic Book Order

Don't forget that this month's orders are due Friday, September 25th.  There is never any pressure to order, but it's a great way to add to your child's home library if you do choose to order.  Any books purchased by families can also give points to our classroom that I can use to buy books and materials for our classroom! You can also order online. If you have any questions about this please let me know.

We will take our Unit 1 test Thursday!!  As soon as I get those graded and recorded, I will send them home!  Please help your child review for the test using the packet I sent home last week, if you haven't already done so.
