Open House was a huge success. Thanks to all of the students and parents who volunteered to help make this event so wonderful! I was so proud of our ambassadors! It was a great day.

I am missing a few field trip forms and money! Please send them in by TUESDAY!


FIELD TRIP…Our fieldtrip to The Detroit Science Center is coming up on Wednesday November 19th. The following chaperones have signed up to accompany us: Ms. Williams, Ms. Leitao, Ms. Sarkesian, Ms. Skornicka, Ms. Richter, Ms. Dean, Ms. Afrakhteh, Ms. Clay and Ms. Gardner. Thank you so much for volunteering and we look forward to seeing you. If you have a conflict in your schedule, please email Mrs. Sarkesian at suzanne@jonsarkesian.com ASAP so that we are able to ask another parent to fill your spot. The meeting for chaperones is in the media center at 8:45am, led by Sue Reepmeyer. After this short meeting, chaperones can join us in the hallway outside room 204 to meet up with the class.


Conferences are Wednesday and Thursday of this week! Conference sign-up sheets are outside of my classroom door! Please come by with your calendar to sign up! I AM STILL MISSING FOUR PARENTS!!!!

Several students need pencils and a pair of scissors replenished in the binder!


Please make sure your child has pencils in his/her binder!

Here’s what we have for you tonight:

Reading:
3rd graders: 20 mins
4th graders: 30 mins

Field Trip permission slip is due Nov. 12 (Wednesday). Students need to bring 25 dollars and a slip by next Wed.


Spelling: List 1- ‘ing endings’ Test date is November 21st. Think about which of the lists A, B or C you will learn (and remember) from your spelling paper. What kind of speller are you? Could you challenge yourself to learn list C, which has more difficult words in it? Remember to get your parents signature to show that they agree with the list of words you have chosen. You do not have a menu from which to choose. You may learn the spelling word in the best way that works for you. We will be learning about the spelling rule in class, this week and next week.
