Our field trip chaperones will be receiving a letter detailing information about our trip on Wednesday. This paper is stapled in your child’s planner (look on today’s page).
We started cursive today! Everyone worked so hard and was excited to begin! After our spelling mini-lesson on dropping and doubling, we researched in the library.

Spelling- TEST- November 21 Go to http://www.spellingcity.com/ and play a game or do an activity!
List 1- ‘ing endings’ Test date is November 24th 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 to choose from. 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.
