Dear Parents,
Open House is fast approaching! It is this coming Tuesday, September 14th. I will be speaking with you at 7:00pm. I am aware that some parents may have multiple rooms to visit, or may be unable to attend. I will have copies of the power point that I will be covering to send home with you, or your child. Please feel free to e-mail me with questions at any time.
We will be having a math assessment on polygons, triangles, lines, and angles on Friday. I will be sending home a study guide with students tomorrow. They also have notes in their math notebooks that they can study from.
I will be sending home Scholastic Book Order forms with the students tomorrow. There will be instructions attached for ordering online, but please feel free to send in cash or check (written to Scholastic) along with a paper order form. I will place the order on September 28th, so please have all paper orders to me on or before that date. All online orders will also need to be completed by September 28th. I do earn points from all orders which I then use to order books for our classroom. However, please do not feel obligated to order anything at all, it is completely voluntary. Orders will be delivered to the school and I will distribute the books to the students at that time. If you are ordering anything that you will be using for birthday/holiday gifts let me know at the time you place the order and I will set those books aside for you to pick up at your earliest convenience.
I hope that you are finding the homework matrix a bit easier to understand this week. I made an effort to specify which worksheets were part of the packet. I realize that it was a bit confusing last week and I apologize. I forget that everyone does not speak my specific dialect of teacher lingo and get carried away :)
It looks like we will be going to the recycling center/landfill on September the 30th from 8:30 - 12:30. We will be going with Mrs. Marroquin's class. She has 3 parent volunteers for the trip, so I do not have to have any parent volunteers, but I welcome you to come along. It is a bit stinky but a very interesting field trip. This year we are even going to get to observe a composting area.
This week's spelling words are:
sigh
right
weigh
eight
detail
height
spray
braid
bait
grain
slight
thigh
tight
raisin
trait
highway
frighten
dismay
freight
sleigh
Challenge Words
eighteen
mayonnaise
campaign
daylight
twilight
Thank you for your continued support! I could not do my job with you! We have another 4 day week next week, so I suggest that you look for the student's spelling words on Friday and encourage them to practice them a bit over the weekend. Homework charts are always sent home on Mondays. E-mail me or stop by with any questions or concerns!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Zirczy
