!!!!!"GO BOBCATS"!!!!!
!!!CONGRATULATIONS TO CARLY HUTCHINSON, OUR NOVEMBER STUDENT OF THE MONTH!!!

Theme: "Pilgrims and Indians"  "Thanksgiving"

Dear Family, 

Thank you parents for making our Popcorn for Parents a success!!!  We enjoyed having you in our classrooms and hope you enjoyed it as well.

We will be reading our next story in our basal reader entitled "Greg's Mask"  pgs. 41-63.  Please remember to listen to your child read the story each night. Students will be tested on the story each week.  Also remember to practice the sight words that are highlighted on the sight word list in the homework folder, and sign the homework chart that is provided in the homework folder.  Each child will be individually tested on these sight words as each list is completed. Students will not have to spell the words but will have to be able to read them on sight.  Please go over all previously learned words as well as the new ones that will be added with each new story.  Flash cards would be helpful for your child to use to practice the sight words.  You will be notified in advance of the sight word test. 

Every Monday students will be given a new list of Spelling words.  Don't forget if they make 100 on the trial test they do not take the final test on Friday.  They will go to the carpet for free time where they can choose from puzzles, coloring, drawing with stencils, listening with headphones to stories, playing on the computer or working on the geo safari or the math safari. Please start studying at the beginning of the week.  Practice calling the words out and letting your child write them down.  Mix the words up.  Also help your child to practice the dictation sentences.  Flash cards are helpful for some students. 

Remember to contact me if you have any questions. You may e-mail me from here, send me a note, or call the school at 601-758-4289 to schedule a conference.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Nina Daley
