September 27th is a NUT day and all proceeds raised will be given to CURE Childhood Cancer.
Reading Counts: I will be having a pizza party for any students in my homeroom who earn 75 Reading Counts points by the end of the first quarter (October 11th). Kalina, Christian, Isabel, Danielle, and Brendan have already reached this goal! Three more students are really close. Congratulations!
Bible: See the link on the Bible verse page for the week's verse. The test is on Friday.
Math: We will continue with Chapter 2 called "Multiplication of Whole Numbers and Decimals." We will cover lessons 2-6 through 2-9. Diagnostic Checkpoint 2A is on Tuesday. Your child is welcome to do it in advance to help prepare for the one we do in class.
Vocabulary: Unit 3; Students will make vocabulary cards for the twelve words and one additional card that will contain two Latin roots along with four words that contain those roots. All students now have a copy of the Latin roots and words for the entire school year. The list is in a sheet protector in his/her binder. Vocabulary cards are due Friday.
Spelling: Unit 3 (same words as the words for Unit 3 vocabulary). Students should be able to spell the twelve vocabulary words, the four Latin root words, and the two Latin roots and tell the Latin root meanings. All words for each unit can be found on Vocabulary Spelling City. Please feel free to practice your vocabulary and spelling skills using the following site: http://www.spellingcity.com/ssprinkel
