We will continue to have library on Monday so remember to bring your books back. 

We will be reading The Enormous Crocodile as a class and learning about trickster tales.  (We ran out of time last week.)  These tales help to shape different communities.  We will also be finishing up our community scrapbook.  Please make sure send in the pictures you have been taking of the community if you haven’t already. 

As far as parent volunteers, I am still looking for someone who would like to do Meet the Masters for the yellow class and a music leader for the yellow class.  If anyone is interested, let me know.

Spelling for September 9-24 to 9-28: Cube Food Crust Bloom Smooth Dude Skunk Brown Mood Bump Fruit Suit Built Juice Trust Build Moon Prune Spoon Tooth Words are on spellingcity.com under List 3 if you want to practice there. Words will also be written in their planners.

UTIPS Homework: I have put two tests (remember they are not real tests) online for this week. Please sit with your child and work with them on the homework. Tests are: Comprehension1 And Borrowing- Carrying 2

Keyboarding Help: The school has used a free internet program called Dance Mat typing.  It is not my favorite, but it is a good start.  I will continue to look for more free programs. bbc.co.uk/schools/typing

Reading Days: I am so grateful for all the help from the Weilands to get our Reading Minutes set up.  I put a sticker on your child’s planner letting you know their class number and what class they are in so you can record the number of days your child reads.  Remember, it is number of days not number of minutes!  Please enter those days each Friday. You should get an email from Weilands so you can put in your number of days.  If you haven’t, let me know and I will forward your email to them. Thank you!  Your child needs to read 20 minutes or more to count as a day.
