Welcome to the 2nd Nine Weeks.

Even though last week was only 3 days, we packed more activities into that 3 days than we regularly do in a full week. It was a true whirlwind.

We had an American Soldier Visit our Pod (home from Iraq for a two week break). The kids asked really GREAT questions and learned a lot of great info. We will continue to correspond with this soldier throughout the rest of this school year.

We had another Gifted lesson. We had Counseling with Mrs. Bush. And we tried to meet our AR goals for the 9 weeks. The computers crashed on Thursday bringing our whole day to a halt.

*Our A.R. goals START OVER on Monday, October 17th. Please continue to expect an AR book to come home each night. I will be expecting the students to take 1 or 2 tests per day.

This week brings us back to a 5 day week and to Unit 2 Week 3 curriculum.

We will have our Reading and Language tests this Thursday.

We will have our Spelling and Math tests this Friday.

In Science/ S.S. we will be talking about Landforms and our quiz will be Friday.

We will have Library time on Friday as well.

REPORT CARDS for the 1st nine weeks will come home on Thursday.

Monday, October 17th Please expect Graded Papers to come home.

This will be the last batch for the First Nine weeks.

Have a great week.

-Mrs. Mainor
