Conferences begin tonight at 5pm. I hope to see you all here for your scheduled conference. Scholastic Book Fair is going on right now in the Olson Cafeteria. Check out some great books at great prices for your child. If you have any extra time to volunteer, our PTO is looking for parents who can help out in the Book Fair for 2 hours. Please come help out!
I assigned Xtra Math 2-3 times over the break. The children have 5 days off, so I hope they have access to a computer 2-3 times to do this. They seem excited about it. Thank you for your enthusiasm as well.
Say Cheese!!! Picture Day is October 13. Please send your forms in anytime before the 13th to order your child's pictures.
Some of the children are falling back on homework responsibilities saying, "I was really busy last night." I know we are all very busy. But we need to set an example for our children for what is important. Please encourage good homework habits. Start homework immediately when you get home. Do your homework in a quiet, comfortable place without distractions. Routines should always be doing homework before playing. Your award for doing your homework should be playtime after; not play first, work later. Quarter 2 we will be keeping students in at recess to complete work they have not completed. Also, no-name papers will be recycled with a 0. Please remember to put names on the paper FIRST. Next week we will begin student of the week and weekly Homework Senseis (Master students who turn in their homework everyday for the week). These pictures will be posted on the blog for all to enjoy and celebrate. Good luck. We hope to see a big group next week.
Have a happy long weekend with your family and friends. I'm excited for a trip with my family to Minnesota for my cousin's wedding.

Hi Mrs. Montes, just went over this wks spelling/vocab & wanted to give a gentle heads up that the list here on the blog has some type-o's. "Acrobat" and the word vocabulary... I pondered even telling you, but decided you'd probably rather know than not, so there you go :) Thanks for providing this blog for us. I Love having this to refer back on instead of trying to keep all of the papers straight... Awesome Job! See you next Monday~ JM4's Mom:)
