Here are a few of the great things going on in room 15!

We are finishing chapter two in math this week. Hopefully we will be taking our test this Friday. This chapter dealt with range, mode, median and partial addition and subtraction. We're continuing to learn about our great state, Arizona! We will be taking our counties and regions test this week. The spelling words for the week are: rest, perhaps, certain, feel. Dictation will be on Thursday and our test will be on Friday. We will be taking our MAP reading test tomorrow morning as well.

Book orders are due tomorrow. You can place your order online or send it in.

Thank you for getting the t-shirt orders in on time. A big thank you to Mary Gansheimer for collecting and placing our orders.

Class volunteers started last week and you've been a huge help! I've posted the volunteer calendar for the year on both the website and the blog. Feel free to check it out and email me days you would like and I'll update the calendar. Or you can update the hard copy next time you're in our class. It is located on the back of my office door. We love volunteers!

Scrapbooks are well underway. If you haven't already, please let me know ASAP if your child will be getting one. I will need to pick up the books next week as well as start to put together pages. Thank you!

Please return your conference forms. If the date that you are scheduled for doesn't work please call or email me. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ONLY RESCHEDULE IF IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. I have 26 conferences to run and there's not a lot of room for me to reschedule. So please try and make your date and time fit if at all possible.

Please be sure to check your child's assignment book and homework. Some kiddos are frequently coming in without all or some of their homework and not turning in the homework and reading logs. Frequently missing these two things will drop their grades. Grades should be up and running on our website this week. Your help is greatly appreciated!

That's a lot of information at once! Thanks for your continued support of your child's education. We've got a great group!
