What glorious sleeping weather! ...windows open, breeze blowing in, down comforter snuggled around me... delightful!
I hope you are all enjoying this first weekend of Autumn.
Please remember that your child has no school on Tuesday. We, teachers, are attending Mass and a lecture at the Westchester County Center in White Plains. Please, keep us in your prayers as we travel a distance from our homes and we will keep you in our prayers during the special mass.
The children are asked to do Monday and Tuesday night homework only for spelling. We will work on catching up on everything else during class time. It helps to keep our spelling on schedule as much as possible. Thanks for your diligence in keeping them on-task at home.
Top Tastes of the Town is on Monday evening; that is always a fun, delicious evening!
You may notice that I made a few name changes to the links menu... sorry if it stumped you. I am trying to streamline the number of links. I'll be grouping subjects together as much as possible.
We are starting to read "Frog and Toad Together" in class this week. I've posted vocabulary words to review at home. There will be a vocabulary/comprehension test on the book when it is completed. I will, of course, let you know. If you have the book at home it could only help to practice reading it at home. I do not have enough copies for the children to take the books home for practice. That will be the case with all of our "Book Club" books throughout the year. I am exploring how to make my own "ebooks". If anyone can help, please get in touch with me. It's something I've wanted to do for a while, I'm not completely sure how to best go about this.... will I be breaking copyright laws? I'll have to find out. With that said, I know that many of the books are available as Kindle books. Sometimes they are available on Youtube... someone reads them aloud... I could do that! Please let's not forget we have local libraries!
Math Exit Tickets: We are not getting these in print form this year. I do use them as a review and then they are used as a study guide. I will upload them onto the Math link on my webpage. I will also upload the answer keys...not at the same time. You can use them at home as a resource to prepare for quizzes and tests.
As a reminder, Red Folders will be going home this week. Please sign the tests/ quizzes and send them back in the folder to me. Thanks for your help!
Stay "cool!"
