I would like to invite other guest speakers to our class to talk about the different topics we will cover in school. If you read in the newsletter about something you know about, let us know. It can be yourself, a friend, or a relative. Thanks! What a way to enrich the curriculum!!!

The Goody Basket is used as a reward system. If the student receives 5 tickets, they get to pick out of the special basket at the end of the day!

The Unit 1 TEST will be on Wednesday, 10/10!
Writing
The first writing prompt will be due on Friday, October 5th!
Journal Responses
I have sent back your child's first journal response. What do the pluses, checks and minuses mean? I hope this will help.
+ (plus) = Excellent-Keep up the great work!
Check plus = Very Good-You have great content, but maybe you forgot to write in cursive, or something else minor. Some punctuation or capitals not used.
Check =Satisfactory-You may have forgotten one or more of the above and your response needs more content.
(minus) =Needs Improvement-All or some of the above, you may need to add more to your response. You left the reader “hanging” and sounds incomplete.
The next writing prompt will be due on Friday, October 12th!!!
Science-
The chapter 1 science test will be on Friday, October 5th! Reread chapter 1 and study the study guide!
Have a super 3 day weekend!
