Boosterthon is under way!  Be sure to ask your child about their team name and what character trait they learned about each day.  Friday was Living with Curiosity and we met a kid from Australia who scuba dives.  This tied in perfectly with today's Social Studies lesson in which we became deep sea divers exploring a sunken ship to find artifacts.

Monday -
Tuesday - Reading Log, Typed Story due (we'll work on typing it in class on Monday and Tuesday)
Wednesday -
Thursday -
Friday - FUN RUN, Science Quiz, Novel Study DUE

I met with most students on Friday to see where they were on their Novel Study.  Most students are right on track to be done by Friday.  Some students need to spend some time reading this weekend to get as far in the book as they can.  We will not be doing Spelling Sorts next week and other items will be kept light to allow for plenty of class time to work on the Novel Study.  Some students are not using their time wisely and are being a little too "social" instead of on task and it shows in their work.  The rubric that will be used to score this project is attached in their Reading Google Classroom.

October 5-9

Thank you to everyone who joined the PTA.  Mrs. Ellison's homeroom did reach our goal of 90% of our parents joining the PTA so we will get the $50 gift card for classroom supplies!

Remember that Monday, Oct. 5 is Curriculum Night for grades 3-5 form 5:15-6:30.  Mrs. Ellison and Mrs. Mallory will be presenting about iReady (and giving out student reports) and Google Classroom.  Ms. Curry and Mrs. Bean will be discussing Investigations Math and our 5th grade Science Units.  This is meant to be an informational night for parents.  We hope to see you here!
