Families,

NWEA is all done. I will go over the test scores with you at conferences. Next week starts our BOOK FAIR!! There are a lot of wonderful books to purchase at the book fair. I will let you know when my class gets to "preview" the sale and when we will go shopping. The book fair will be open during conferences as well.  Next Tuesday, Oct.10 is Late Start and National Hot Lunch Day. Our lunch schedule will change a little for that day. I will let you know when 4th grade eats. Reading Skills has gone over Main Idea and Making Connections. Next up will be Visualization, Organization, and Determine Important Information. Please be sure your child reads at least 15 min each day!!! If your child has 5 or less FYI's they will get to participate in our end of the month celebration. Our first celebration was Sept, 29th!! Students are allowed to bring in a favorite game, NO ELECTRONICS!! We are trying to get these kiddos to become more independent and responsible for their school things. Picture retakes will be Oct 13th. Have a great week!!

Any questions or concerns please let me know!!

Your conference slip will go home next week in the Wed. envelope. If the date and time selected does not work for you, please let me know asap so I can reschedule it for you.  Please be sure to keep practicing math facts each night.

Dear Families,

We are off to a great start!!! The students are showing their Irish Expectations every day!! We will continue to work on these all throughout the year. We are going to start switching classes every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for Social Studies, Science, and Reading Skills. We will begin math this week as well. After the NWEA test later in September, we will look at test scores and during conferences I will go over test results and answer any questions you may have at that time. If you have questions now, please call me or send a note. I am more than happy to answer any questions you may have concerning anything here at MLE. I will always have a hard copy of my newsletter in your child's mailbox every Monday. The spelling list is printed on the back side as well. If you would like to receive my blog/newsletter by email, fill out the BLOG form and return it to school. I can sign you up using the email address you provided, or you can sign up on your own. Make sure you check your email for the feedburner confirmation email otherwise you are not completely signed up.
