I know, I know, I know....we haven't been keeping up with our BLOG! Too many reasons/excuses to list.  But here is the latest as of now.  No school for the next two days.  Have a safe and fun 4 day weekend.  Ms. Carey will be finishing up her internship/student teaching this month.  I am not quite ready to grasp that reality.  Words simply can't describe how much she has done for our students, school, and myself. 

We are moving along in math and have hit a road block with telling time by 5 minutes and knowing AM and PM.  It is a tough skill to master, please consider helping your child with that at home.  We are learning the 5 parts of a friendly letter.   We read "Love, Lizzie" in class.  It is a story about a child whose mother is in the military and writes letters to her mother to communicate with her.  Yes, Ms. Carey and I were a little teary eyed while reading it, but it was a great text connection for the students to make to letter writing and Veteran's Day.

Academic Affair is Thursday, November 17th from 6p to 7pm.  If you can come, please do!  The students have been working so hard and collecting special assignments in their portfolios for you to see along with practicing their performance with Ms. Marentic, our WONDERFUL and DEDICATED Music Teacher.

Remember that our spelling words are on www.spellingcity.com and the students all have their usernames and passwords (Student #s) that we sent home last month.
