Report Cards

You will notice there is not a science grade on the report card.  We will begin taking a grade on science next nine weeks.  Also, there are two other papers in with the report card.  One paper is about the Fall Festival.  Please fill this one out and return as soon as possible. The other paper is information about a PTO fundraiser.

Short Week

We will not have any tests this week.  We will also not start on a new spelling list or language lesson.  We will be reading the Readers' Theater story and will start a new story on Monday.

Also, we will have a popcorn party tomorrow to celebrate everyone making their AR goal.  I told the students they could bring or buy a soda if they want.

Pep Rally Tomorrow

There will be a pep rally tomorrow.  Students are asked to dress in their "Footloose" 1980's attire.

Fall Festival

The Fall Festival is on October 29.  Our class is in charge of the Haunted Hallway.  This is a big job! We will need lots of volunteers.  If you would like to volunteer to come help decorate or work inside the hallway send me an email.  I will also need some volunteers to help take up tickets and work at the exit door.  A note will come home later with time slots for those things.

Grades

The grades posted on Achieve are not the final grades.  All tests from this week and any missing grades will be filled in to get the final grade.
