Good afternoon,

 

This week in Language Arts we are working on r-controlled vowels, making and confirming predictions, Greek and Latin Roots, and text structure in an informational text. Students can use any ELA IXL skill with a star to help the review at home. 

 

In Math we are working on finishing up the division chapter: we will take the Chapter 2 test on Thursday. Chapter 2 was all about division.

 

I've gotten quite a few questions about how students can improve their grades, which I really appreciate! I have made packets of missing Math homework for any student who has anything missing. If your child does not come home with a reteach packet, it means they have turned in all of their Math homework. I have also told students that they can make test corrections on any Math, Science, or Social Studies test or quiz. If they make test corrections it has to be in a different color so that I can see their corrected answers easily. I do not do test corrections on Spelling or Vocabulary tests because we correct them together. Students have until October 12^th to give me any missing or makeup work so that I get a chance to put it in the grade book. I will not take any points off for late work, I want them to have as much or a chance to raise their grades as possible. 

 

A huge THANK YOU to all students and families who donated towards our Fall Festival raffle basket. We can't wait to see how all the baskets turn out on Fall Festival.
