Halloween was great fun!!

We decided to hold off on the character test for this week since Halloween was kind of crazy.  We want the children to be successful and having it today might sabotage that!!  The test will be on Monday.  A good way to review is to have your child write the sentences since most of the words are in the sentences.

I’ve checked some of the websites that give reports and it’s exciting to see that a lot of the children have been using these to learn. 

Remember if you have any questions—just call or e-mail!

Please have your child return their October reading calendar on Tuesday. All book orders will be coming through Mrs. Adams now. I have included book orders for both classes in the Monday folder with instructions of how to order online. Please use the online ordering code for Mrs. Adams. It is on the blue letter. If you want books for a Christmas gift please send me an email and I will hold them until you can come in.

Thank you for being so supportive!

Mrs. Craven:
I  am currently grading the Vocabulary Tests for this week and so far I am really impressed!  I knew our students could take on that extra challenge!  Overall they are doing better in speaking only Chinese in our classroom!  Thank you for your encouragement and work with them.

I purchased a membership for our classes to the QUIA website that Mrs. Shumway used last year.  Mrs. Hicks has helped me in entering all the names so that you can now access that site.  Attached to this week’s homework will be you access information.  There will be no cost to you for using this.  Currently there is one game on it to help the students practice their shapes.  More games will be added soon.  The site will also record whenever your student works on it and how long they worked on it.  Hopefully it will be a good learning tool and help your student progress.

Mrs. Adams:



Report Cards will be sent home in the Monday Folders. We look forward to seeing you this week for Parent Teacher Conferences.
