• October in 4D will be a busy one!
• Along with learning how to multiply multi digits, we will be completing a biography research project in writing  and a creative book report on their October book. 
• Please, if your child is struggling in remembering math facts, take a few minutes each night to review.  Thank you:)We plan to take a x fact test each Friday this month to check progress.  
• In Reading we will be finishing our whole group book Double Fudge while completing comprehension questions.  We will also continue on reading our library books for comprehension and taking the Accelerated Reader quizzes that go along with them to make our easy AR point goals due on November 11.
• Spelling pretests and tests will continue on a bi weekly basis. Please create a study spelling word routine for homework time.  You can use the computer program SPELLING TRAINER at home if you would like.
• Language Arts skills will include verbs, contractions,  and possessives along with constant reinforcement of writing complete sentences. 
• Parent teacher conferences are on October 30. Conference schedules are coming home on 10/10.
• Orange October Home Reading Log records are due on Oct. 29.  They are in the expandable file under reading. These logs will be used as a Reading Effort grade. 
• We cleaned out our expandable files and reorganized. 
• We decided to put our LEARNING  HELPERS under the miscellaneous file so not to confuse them with any homework. 
• Thank you for helping your child look through their assignment book, share what they did each day, and check in on their expandable file.  Taking these two items home and back to school  each day is helpful for them to learn responsibility for their school work now and in the future. 
• Please do not work on any reading, spelling words, or finishing up work for more than an hour each night. 
• Please bring unfinished work back to school.  If needed, please write a note in their planner for communication if needed. 
• Our class made their 50 point goal for good behavior and is receiving a movie/popcorn party on Friday 10/11 for an hour. 
• ANY PAPERS THAT ARE SENT HOME ON FRIDAY CAN BE RETURNED TO OUR CLASSROOM TO BE PUT IN OUR NEW RECYCLING TUBS!!
• RECYCLE THE PAPER, SAVE THE TREES, OUR SPSL KIDS CAN TO IT!!

We are off to a great start!  Thank you to everyone who has jumped on the REMIND app as this is the way that we will communicate this year!  We have been to mass, have had our first Reading and Spelling test, and have been practicing our procedures and routines.  My next step is to begin learning the Black Baud system for assignments and grades. Thank you for your patience.  I’ve been  trying to touch base with parents the past two weeks.  I will also be sharing our classroom behavior plan soon.

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!
