Monday Memo 9/28/15

Happy Monday!

I hope you had a great weekend. Can you believe it is our first five day week??? It will be good to jump into a regular schedule. Yesterday was a lovely day to spend at a softball double-header. I hope you and your family got to enjoy the great outdoors, too!


Global Cardboard Challenge

Please send in cardboard and masking tape if you have any to donate. We will make our creations on Thursday. It should be really fun.

Writer's Notebooks

Thank you so much for sending in all the photos and collage materials for our Writer's Notebooks covers. We had a blast decorating the covers. They look awesome! 

Readers Notebooks

Thank you so much to Elena Taxiarchis for making our Readers Notebooks for us. We already started using them to record our books and our good thinking.  

Weather

Thank you for sending in the permission slip for our upcoming field trip. Click here if you need another copy. On Friday, we had fun doing a science experiment with thermometers and measuring the temperature of water.


Weekly Reading Log

Today your child will come home with a Reading Log.  Click here if you can't find it :). It is due each Friday. Making reading a regular part of your nightly routine is very important, as I'm sure you already know. Please listen to your child read, and read to your child every day. Sometimes when I'm busy, I really want to let this slide (can't we all just go to sleep?!?!), but I try to read to my own third grader every night. Here is a really good article about the importance of reading to your child. Thanks for your help with this.

Math Stations

Please click here if you would like to sign up for Math Stations sometime. We'd love to have you! 

Thank you for reading. Have a wonderful week!
