Looking Ahead to the Week of October 8 (STEM Week)

Tuesday: Topic 3 Math Test; Library books are due; Classroom Guidance 8:15
Wednesday:
Thursday: Homework Packet #4 is DUE!  Homework Packet #5 is issued; Morning Fun Run
Friday: PTO BookMEN Breakfast 7:30-8:00; Enjoy the weekend!

In Your Child's Communication Folder...:
In your child's communication folder, you will find a document that says "Clemson University Assumption of Risk and Release from Liability" at the top.  This form must be filled out and returned for our field study on October 25.  Please return this form as soon as possible in your child's folder.

Reading Counts:
Starting 10/8/18, each student is required to read and pass (with a 70% or higher) a Reading Counts test on a minimum of 1 book (picture book or chapter book) every week.  The test must be on a book on their color level, one level above, or one level below.  The students know which color levels these are because they have a library card with these colors.  The students may read their book(s) at home, but they must take the test(s) in class so I can sign their Reading Counts log.  Students who do not have a passed test on their level by Friday of each week will stay in during extra recess to take their required test.

Homework Reminders:
Please make sure your child's reading log is signed each day, as well as the signature box stating your child practiced his or her spelling for the week.  Also, the reading log needs to be completed 4 different days during the week, not just for 4 reading sessions.  If your child is able to read for more than 15 minutes at a time or read more than 1 book during the 15 minutes that is wonderful, but it still 1 reading log entry.  Don't forget, practice problems/assignments for the week are either stapled to the homework or copied on the back.
