Monday

Hi! I am sorry that yellow folders, Dojo Reports, and a newsletter were not sent home today due to the fact that I was out with my sick family. I will send all of these things home tomorrow. All students were asked to make a plan for "disguising a turkey" for a writing activity that we are doing this week. This plan is due tomorrow.

This week in 3rd grade Math, we are reviewing Chapter 3 for a test. This will include making equal groups, number lines, and arrays to solve multiplication problems, Commutative and Identity Property of Multiplication, and multiplying with 0 and 1. This test will be on Thursday of this week (November 14th).
Math Homework for tonight- P63-64.

I hope everyone exercises their right to VOTE tomorrow! We're studying government in Theme this week! Ask your child if he/she can name the three branches of government (Legislative, Executive, and Judicial) and if they can tell you who represents each branch (Legislative- Congress, Executive- President, Judicial- Supreme Court) on the national level. Along with that, we have discussed the privilege we have in our country to VOTE...so go out and model this very important responsibility for your child tomorrow.
In honor of Veterans' Day, we are having an assembly Friday morning (November 8th) at 8:00 am. If you or a family member are an active or retired veteran, please join us Friday morning.

We really need your HELP! Our class theme basket (Made in Kentucky) is pretty empty! We could really use some more items to make this better. We still have a few more day to collect items for this basket. Remember that this raises money for our school--and we can't do it without you!
Please join us this Friday night for the PTO Auction and Chili Supper! It's a meal you don't have to cook with live entertainment from our 4th/5th grade Chorus. There are lots of great items being auctioned off live, and there's also some teacher talents (or attempted talent) being auctioned in a silent auction. It's a lot of fun, you won't want to miss it!

Homework and other important info...
2nd graders are reading "Anansi Goes Fishing" this week; Quiz on Friday AND there will be a Math Test on Thursday over Chapter 3.

3rd graders are reading Fairy Tales this week and studying story elements (plot, character, conflict, theme, setting). There will NOT be a story from the textbook, and we will NOT have a DR Quiz this week (due to the short week). Tonight's homework was to complete the reading log and there was a Math Worksheet on Multiplication with Arrays (P57-58).

We began our "Read Your Heart Out" program today. This is a separate reading log (came home today in yellow folders) that is sponsored by Pizza Hut. Students who read 8 books each month will receive a coupon for a free pizza from Pizza Hut. These must be books and cannot be stories from the textbook. A chapter book will count as TWO books on the log since those obviously take longer to read. Your signature will be required and this will be due at the end of the month.

*A mistake on today's newsletter-- I wrote this week's specials on there but forgot that we wouldn't be in school tomorrow. So the correct schedule is:
Monday (today)- PE
Tuesday- No School
Wednesday- Library
Thursday- Music
Friday- PE

Yellow folders came home today with lots of important handouts, including Dojo Reports. These will be due on Wednesday since we are out tomorrow.
Enjoy the day off tomorrow and remember to VOTE!
