Monday

The deadline for Auction Night gift basket donations is this Wednesday, Sept. 31. Thank you in advance for all your help.
Today many items were attached to this week's assignment sheet. I sent home the Core Spelling List. these are the words all students are expected to be able to spell in their writing by the end of the year. Feel free to work on these at home.
I also attached and IXL sheet. Briefly, IXL is an online supplemental math program. Students/parents can choose items for practice or enrichment. It is not graded and parents can monitor student progress. It seems like students may really enjoy it and get math practice.
I attached the Accelerated Reader (AR) letter explaining what AR is. This program is to encourage reading and good comprehension. It is not graded, there are no points to earn. They are given a comfort reading range. It is written on the back of the letter. The levels are not grade levels, they are reading ranges. Students reading in their ranges will have more success and will then be more motivated to read.
The weekly homework is attached. Yes, I will expect them to be able to tell their address and an important phone number.
