Parents,
Hello to everyone! Happy October to everyone! I cannot believe how fast September went. The school year seems to be flying by!
Your child's math test will be sent home TODAY! I know I mentioned sending them last week, but I was unable to get them all corrected and graded in time, so they are going to be sent home today. Please look over your child's test with your child and discuss any problems that your child may have missed. Please sign and return the test TOMORROW with your child. There is a sheet stapled to your child's test that you can sign. There is also some information that you will need to read about review work that your child can do after the test. Thanks!
The Global Cardboard Challenge seems to be a hot topic in our classroom. I hope that your child is enjoying this experience, as well as you! I am super excited to see what the class has created. Please join us for our "Day of Play," on Thursday, October 4th, at 2:30 PM. Your child is to bring in his/her project on Thursday and later that afternoon, we will be displaying all of the 3rd and 4th graders cardboard creations in the cafeteria. Parents are welcome to come in and see what we have made! Mark the calendars!
Beginning
this week and continuing next week, your child will be taking the MISIC
tests. These tests are on the computer
and are similar to the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS), and that is why it is
very important that your child takes his/her time on these tests and does
his/her best. Please see that your child
receives a good night’s rest. We have
tests Thursday this week and Monday and Tuesday next week. It is important that the students are well
rested and prepared for testing. Thanks!
I am send home your child’s October reading calendar. I am attaching another letter to the
reading calendar to give information about the program. The calendar will also include a reading goal
that your child will be asked to complete by the end of the month. Beginning each month, if your child reads 20
minutes or more a night, he/she is to color in the box 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 a pizza party in my room at the
end of the year. 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. Look for the
“Pizza Hut Book It” letter tonight, along with the reading calendar, and a small reading packet of printables based off the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series that go along with the "Book It" program. If you have any
questions about the program, please ask.
If you have any questions, please contact me. Have a fantastic week!
Mrs. McCarville
