Literary Pumpkins

Hi Parents,
I neglected to discuss with the students the written assignment for their pumpkin project.  Therefore, it will be very minimal.  The students should have something explaining who their character is and their role in the book.  This written assignment can be as short as the student would like.  Remember that students should have the book to display with their pumpkin.

Thank you!

Hi All!
This week will be a short one for students, as they are off on Friday.  Due to this only being a four day week, students will not have Comp. Book this week.  In addition, we have completed our first theme, Journeys, in Reading and have a Theme 1 project due on Thursday.  Students will not have spelling words this week, this means no spelling homework and not test!

We have had many donations for the Fall Party on October 31.  Please contact me if you can donate anything for the activities.  Parents are asked to send in a snack or candy for the homeroom students for that day, as well.  I am also asking for any parent volunteers who can go around to the different classrooms with their child's class and assist with projects.  Please let me know if you are available.  Finally, Literary pumpkins are due on that day, please make sure your child has one ready.  This project takes the place of their Book Talk project.

Homework this week will be to complete the Theme 1 project and work on their Literary Pumpkins.  They will have a test on their vocabulary words on Wednesday.

Week of October 10

Sorry for the delay in posting.  I moved and have been a little disorganized, I apologize.  The students have their Cereal Box project that is due Friday, however we have no school on Friday; therefore I will accept them on Thursday or Monday.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this.

Since we have no school on Friday, students will not have Composition Book this week.  They will have their regular spelling homework and their test will be on Thursday.  We will have a reading test on "By the Shores of Silver Lake" on Thursday as well.

Our next book report will be assigned on Monday of next week.  Please look for Theme 1 project, which will come home this week and is seperate from book reports.  The Theme projects are directly related to our Reading stories and students will have a choice of activities to complete.

Have a great week!
