Thursday

Thank you to those parents who have returned your conference notes right away. We appreciate it. The students earned a red ticket for responsibility and a horseshoe if they returned it today. Thank you!!! We look forward to meeting with each of you in a couple of weeks.
JM4's Mom requested I put up the spelling words in Spanish each week. There will now be in a link on the right side of the Blog that has the Spanish words too. So you should see English vocab and spelling lists (Test Fridays) and Spanish vocab and spelling (Test Wednesdays). Hope this is helpful for all of you. Thank you for your attention to our class blog. Sometimes I will assign homework for you and your child to comment on the blog.
Next week we will be starting Xtra Math, an online math program that strengthens our speed and accuracy for addition and subtraction. We will do this in the classroom 2-3 times a week, but it will also be homework 2 nights a week also. Wednesdays and one other night (of your choice) a week. Sometimes I may assign it as homework. If you do not have Internet at home then I will send something else for your child to practice. I look forward to the growth we will make with our facts.
Sight words will also start coming home next week. Thank you to the wonderful parents who came in to help do a baseline assessment of where each child will start. Please practice the card of 10 words, read and spell. At school they will be tested by an adult to advance to the next color. They will have to read, spell, and write the word accurately and automatically to pass a level of 10 words. Again, thank you for your cooperation and assistance with practicing at home and helping out at school.
Mustang March is going well!! Remember to fill those water bottles at home please!
At the end of September Ms. Salas and I will draw 2 red tickets from each class to have lunch with these 4 students. Red tickets are earned when we show good character. Our bucket is pretty full! Do you think your name will be drawn!? Keep showing good character!
We will be taking a weekly photo of the students who completed their homework all week and posting it to our blog. I can't wait to see who will be in our first one tomorrow! Keep up the good work Clydesdales and Mustangs!
Have a great Thursday!!!
