WKCE Testing

WKCE testing is right around the corner.  As we get even closer, it is important to get students prepared for the test.  The 4^th/5^th grade teachers will be working on prepping the students for the test and getting them in test taking mode; however, we also do not want to make them nervous.  It is important that they just do their best.

 

Here are some ways you can help support your student at home:

-Express a positive attitude toward the test.

-Put the emphasis on effort as well as achievement.

-Ensure a good night’s rest.

-Provide a nutritious breakfast and a healthy snack.

-Ensure attendance on all test dates.

 

Students will also be allowed to bring gum or mints with them to school as long as they understand that it will only be chewed during the testing period. 

 

Thank you for the support at home!

Scholastic Books Ordered!

Our first Scholastic Book Order has been ordered.  If you ordered books, the books should be arriving between 7-10 days; however, if you ordered the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book that will arrive the day it is released, which I believe is November 13.

Also a reminder that you now have the option of ordering Scholastic books online using our classroom code: LL9CK .

Halloween Party

On Wednesday, October 24, our class will be having a Halloween party at the end of the day.  Students are allowed to dress up in costume as long as there isn't blood and guts everywhere!  I have to start thinking of some costume ideas because I too will be dressing up.  :)

If you would like to volunteer to bring a treat or juice please let me know! It would be much appreciated! I look forward to seeing all of the creative costumes!

SEL Golden Award!

I am happy to announce that we received our third Golden Award this week!  This time our Golden Award was given to us by Mr. Taube, our SEL/Guidance teacher.  He explained at the Fish assembly that the reason we got this award was because our class was "being there for each other, choosing to be respectful and patient, and showing great maturity."  We are very excited to have received this award.  Keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen!

No SPARK Thursday!

Due to Parent/Teacher Conferences this Thursday, October 11, there will be no after school SPARC program. Also, there will be no SPARC on Thursday, October 25 since this is a Staff Development Day and students are not in school. Thank you for your understanding. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Parent/Teacher Conferences

Here is a reminder that the first set of parent/teacher conferences will be taking place this Thursday, October 11th. If any parents would like to meet our new school guidance counselor, Andy Taube, please let me know and I can ask him to stop in during our conference.  Thanks!

A Different Kind of Award!

Our class won the "Teacher With the Most Pledges Turned in Early" for Mitchell in Motion.  Because of this, our class received a new "fun" chair to use in our classroom!  Check out the classroom Twitter account to see a picture of the chair.

Scholastic Book Order

Last night I sent home the October Scholastic book order form for any students wanting new books.  You now have the option of ordering online.  All you have to do is enter my classroom's activation code.  The activation code for my class is: LL9CK  .  Here is the link if you would like to order online.
