Math Facts
Just a reminder, students should be practicing their math facts every night for at least ten minutes. Students are tested once a week on their fact fluency! Five new links have been added to the right of this page for convenient practice opportunities.
The November benchmark for computational fluency is that students master addition and subtraction facts (36/40 facts in 2 minutes). Fact test results go home every week with your child. Please ask your students how they are doing and if you have any questions regarding your child's success, please email us!

Spelling City
Many of the spelling lists have been uploaded to Spelling City. Here you can find the spelling words for the week (including 4 challenge words at the end of each list) and students can study their words through activities, games, and online assessments. This week students are working on Unit 7! Have fun!

Spelling
Hi Families! Spelling booklets and/or notices were sent home regarding the pretest that was given yesterday. This is to inform you about your child's spelling lists and the outcome of their pretests. If a spelling book was brought home, it is to "live" in your child's homework folder. This booklet will be used every Monday morning in class for a pretest and every Friday afternoon for a post-test. Other than that, it will go back and forth from school in your child's homework folder so they know what words need to be studied!
Thank you for your ongoing support and we will see you next week for conferences (Monday, November 25 or Tuesday, November 26)!

Blogging Hiatus
After a long blogging hiatus, we're back! It has been a couple of crazy weeks preparing for report cards and parent conferences.
Meanwhile, students have also been preparing. They are in the process of rehearsing for a play in Spanish and here you will see them practicing their lines! I wish I could tell you what it is about; however, I took French in high school and college.
According to the students, "It is about the book, The Old Lady who Wasn't Afraid of Anything. In the book a grandma meets clothing and isn't afraid of any of it, except when the pumpkin head and the tree come and then she gets scared and runs home. So all of the clothing gets sad, and the grandma has a plan and it is to make the clothing and the pumpkin into a scarecrow."
