Dear Parents,
This
is going to be a shorter note, as I will be seeing nearly everyone this week at
conferences. I am anxious to talk to you
about your child’s progress. You will
receive your child’s DIBELS and MISIC results at the conference, where we can
discuss any questions that you may have.
Thanks!
“Bunnicula”
was a great play on Friday. The students
were all very well behaved and displayed Cadet Pride in a theatre of at least
1,000 students. Way to go 3rd
graders! Hopefully they shared what they
liked about the play with you!
Thank
you to Eleanor Junge! Eleanor is
Hunter’s grandmother and she is volunteering in our classroom every
Thursday. She started this past
Thursday, where she listened to some students read. She will continue to come every Thursday and
we appreciate all of her help.
Your
child is bringing home a letter tonight that explains our reward for showing
Cadet Pride: a “Fall Fest Dance.” We
will celebrate the “Fall Fest Dance” on Wednesday, October 31st,
which is Halloween. Because it is Halloween,
your child has the option to bring his/her Halloween costume. Your child can bring the costume to school
and change into the costume before the dance.
Your child will NOT wear the costume home, just for the dance. Your child also cannot wear face paint,
blood, or bring weapons that may be an accessory to the costume. Those items must stay at home. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I know the class is really excited for the
dance! J
I
am sending home book orders for this month.
I will send home several book orders and if your child does want to
order books, please have the orders sent back to school by Monday, November 5th. I would prefer that you send the book orders
with the exact amount of money for it, but I can send back change if
needed. If you are writing a check, those
can be made payable to “Scholastic Book Clubs.”
You can also order books online.
Remember to use our class activation code: GQLKG. Thanks!
Your
child’s October reading calendar is due on Thursday (or Monday if your child
forgets to bring it on Thursday). I will
be sending home your child’s November reading calendar on Thursday. The calendar includes a reading goal of 250
minutes that your child will be asked to complete by the end of the month. If your child reads 20 minutes or more a
night, he/she is to color in the icon for that night. If he/she brings the calendar back at the end
of the month and read the amount of minutes his/her goal requires, he/she will
get a pizza certificate to Pizza Hut. If
your child brings back all the calendars through April, he/she will get
rewarded for a school year of reading! J This is an OPTIONAL program for
students. Each student will get a
calendar every month, but I am not requiring him or her to complete it if they
choose not to. However, if they do not
complete the calendars, they will not get the opportunity to eat and celebrate
with those who complete it. If you have
any questions about the program, please ask!
Lastly,
we are having a one-hour early dismissal both Tuesday, October 30th
and Thursday, November 1st for parent/teacher conferences. There is also NO SCHOOL on Friday, November 2nd,
because of parent/teacher conferences.
Thanks!
If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thanks and have a great week!
Mrs.
McCarville
