And our current Leader of the Week is...
Isabelle!!!
She
was chosen by her peers as our leader of the week for many reasons, but most
specifically because she is awesome at using the 4th habit, Think
Win-Win! Isabelle is recognized for her
positive attitude, her kindness towards others and her listening skills. Her
peers describe her as a problem solver who does well in groups and always
listens to others' ideas. Way to go, Isabelle!
Good evening, parents! I hope you've enjoyed the cool weather this weekend! I'm looking forward to a fun fall week with your kiddos! It was great to see some of them this past weekend at the Creasey-Mahan Haunted Hike! Here's what you need to know about what's happening in our classroom this week!
Upcoming Test-Word Study quiz over Homophones ~ A list of homophones to study will be taped into your child's agenda Monday morning.
Book Fair!!!
I don't know about you, but few things were more exciting for me as an elementary student than the book fair! Our fall book fair has arrived and we will be shopping on Wednesday. I will send home catalogs Monday afternoon. Check them out and if your child would like to make a purchase, please send money with him/her on Wednesday.
Early Release
This Wednesday is another Early Release Day. Please make plans for your child to be dismissed at 12:20pm. If his/her transportation will change, please be sure to send a note that day.

ELA: In ELA, we will begin a new unit entitled Clues to a Culture. Within this unit, your child will learn to examine how photographs and reading can help to unlock clues to a culture otherwise unknown to him/her. This week's focus will mostly be on reading about a Native American tribe and creating an informative essay. We will also examine and write our own trickster tales.
