Last Full Week of September!

Hi all!

It is hard to believe that September is winding down, and we are now officially into autumn! Time is flying!

We have begun our Word Study for the year. The students are divided into S group and D group. S students are reviewing doubling the consonant, e-drop, and no change when adding -ed. This is a simple enough skill, but on our beginning of the year assessment the children missed an average of 3 our of 5 words with that feature. We will review this feature for the next two weeks and then move on to more challenging features.

Monday folders are in book bags. Please look over your child's work, sign the folder, and return it tomorrow.

Just a reminder that book orders are due Thursday. I will be placing our order on that day.

We have a case of chicken pox in our class. Regan will be out for the week. It is a much milder case since she was vaccinated, but I just wanted to let everyone know so you can keep an eye on your child....just in case. We all hope you're doing well, Regan!

Book project mini-goal #3 is due tomorrow and the final project is due next Wednesday. The children are doing a fantastic job keeping up with their goals!

There is a sign-up sheet outside our classroom for conferences on Friday, October 31. Please stop by and sign up for a time.

That's all for now!
