My
well-behaved students have won their first marble party!!
Woot-woot!! So,
on Wednesday we will be watching Mulan, which, incidentally, fits
very nicely into our reading unit! Congrats to room 105 :)
Also,
Halloween is fast approaching. There will be a costume parade at
1:00 around the school (weather permitting) and parties will start at
1:30. I have great moms who have already been alerted with duties!
Costumes are to be brought in with your child on Wednesday. Students cannot wear their costumes to school. Remember, we only have a short time to change and we will be changing in the classroom (one class for boys, another for girls). Please make sure their costumes are suitable for this. Trips to the bathroom are not allowed. No weapons of any kind are allowed.

Spelling: This week, we will be taking a pretest on LESSON 8 on Monday. The cursive worksheet is homework on Monday. On Tuesday, depending on what group your child is in (challenge or non-challenge) the homework will either be 2 challenge activities OR ABC order and 2 workbook pages.
