Science Test

There will be NO Science test this week. We will begin Chapter 5 this week and have the test next Tuesday.

Tomorrow

I am sending home a language study guide that Carter's mom was so very nice to make us :) you do not have to send it back to school. THANKS MRS. CARROLL!!!!

Also, please wear jeans or shorts with the shirts tomorrow.

Language Test Tomorrow

On our language test tomorrow they will be tested on:

Correcting the sentences
Contractions (they will be given words and have to write the contractions)
Nouns and Verbs
Making words plural
Adjectives
Antonyms

Hopefully this will help a little more with studying. I know it is pretty difficult to study for the test.

Grandparent's Day Attire

We will be wearing our new field trip shirts for Grandparents' Day. If you do not have 1 or did not order 1 any red Pike shirt will do.

Also, tomorrow on our Trial test and the test on Friday the bonus word should be spelled: Grandparents' Day. Apostrophe after s. We will go over it in the morning again before the test.

PTO BBQ Sale

The PLAS PTO is having a BBQ sale on October 11 at the school. They need volunteers to fix, hand-out, and deliver plates that day. They will need people from 9:30-2. If you, or someone you know, is able to help that day please let me or Cornelia Sanders know. They are able to work in shifts or all day depending on how much time is able to be committed. THANKS!!!

Grandparents Day

Grandparents Day will begin at 10:00 am in the cafetorium. PLEASE let me know how many will attend and if your child will be checking out.

BBQ Fund Raiser

The PTO is selling BBQ plates again this year. All proceeds will go to buying Mimios and projectors for classrooms. Each child is asked to sell at least 2 tickets. If you need more tickets they can be picked up in the office, or send me a note and I can get you some. Please return tickets in envelope provided no later than Friday, October 4. BBQ plates can be picked up Friday, October 11 from 10:30 am-2:00 pm at the school.

PLEASE help with this fundraiser. We are very excited about the Mimios. With our new reading series they will be a VERY invaluable tool for all of us. THANK YOU so much to the PTO for hosting this fundraiser.

Field Trip Money

PLEASE send Field Trip money by MONDAY.....that's the last day!!!

Grandparent's Day

There are a few sheets going home today about Grandparent's Day. The interview sheet needs to be returned by Monday, but I am going to need it by Friday. They gave us our practice schedule this afternoon and we have a practice day Friday. There will be some other sheets going home tomorrow afternoon also.

I also need to know if your child will be checking out after Grandparent's Day. Please send me a note if they plan to do so.

Also, your child needs to bring a large flat rock by next Tuesday. They need 1 for each grandfather that will be attending.

THANKS :)

Wednesday-Country Day

We decided Country Day was easy for us to do in the SOUTH!!!

Thursday was parade day. We showed that 2nd Grade Rocks!!!!

Our wagon won 1st Place!!!!

WE LOVE 2nd GRADE AND ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

Science Test

We will have a science test on THURSDAY this week not Tuesday. I spoke with Mrs. Campbell and we decided not to push it back another week so we are able to stay on track. A study guide will be sent home Wednesday night. It is on Chapter 3 Lessons 1-3.

Tests

I have tests graded and posted in achieve. The only one's not posted are a couple make-up tests. We had a very busy afternoon working on homecoming stuff so I did not get tests sent home but they will be sent home tomorrow.

Parade Agenda

We will meet in our classroom at 5:00, dressed in your Rock and Roll gear :)

Parents need to be parked and in place by 5:15. We will walk down as a class. The parade will begin behind the hospital at 5:30.

5:30-6:30- BBQ will be sold out in front of the gym.
6:30- Bonfire
7:00- Black-out Pep Rally

Friday

Friday we will not go to the assembly, sorry about that I was confused. We will go to the pep rally at 11:00. School will dismiss at 12:00. We will not have lunch that day so no need to send it. Tomorrow we will have a pizza party during lunch for homecoming week so no need to send lunch. SHHHHHH!!!! They don't know so if they ask why they do not have lunch tell them it is a surprise :) Please just send a drink and snack.

There will be NO tests on Friday, unless you do not make a 102 tomorrow.

Test Change

Ok, I have heard from most of you and everyone seems to be ok with the tests being moved up.

So tomorrow will be reading comprehension, reading vocabulary, and math.

Thursday will be spelling, dictation, and language. If they do not make a 102 on Thursday they can retake on Friday.

We have an assembly at 9:00 on Friday and a pep rally at 11:00 so this will greatly help me on not being pushed for time.

Thanks so much for all of you who have gotten back to me!!!!

Don't forget tomorrow is Country Day.

Friday school is dismissed at 12:00.

Friday Tests

I am thinking about giving our spelling, language, and dictation test on Thursday. Please email me and let me know if you are ok with this??

HOMEWORK!!!

OH NO!!!! Today was crazy and I forgot to even pass out homework :( so sorry!!!! It will be in their folders tomorrow !!!!

Homecoming Wagon Money

PLEASE do not forget to send in your $3.00 for our wagon!!!

Homecoming

Chances to kiss a football player or cheerleader are on sale this week for $.25. They will come around each morning and if your child would like to buy one please send their money in an envelope labeled for the chance.

We will take all normal tests this week except science. That time will be used to work on our wagon for the parade. I still want them to take their science books home so they can read the chapter and will be ready for the test.

Dress up tomorrow is ROCK AND ROLL :)

Reading

We have switched to our new reading series. It has 2 books with it, a small reading book and a large reading book. We are still waiting on our workbooks and teachers editions to come in. Therefore, this week's test will be teacher made. It will be similar to the tests we have been taking thus far. We will have a vocabulary test and a comprehension test. The comprehension test will be on "Help! A Story of Friendship". The smaller book (Reading/Writing Workshop) is more for vocabulary context. I still want them to take it home so they can read the vocabulary sentences in the book. The story in that book will not be tested on. When everything arrives I will have more information and all the books should flow better.

Homecoming Change

We will now wear our Homecoming shirts on Thursday and Rock and Roll outfit for the parade. On Friday wear red, white, and blue.
