On Tuesday, I will give stickers to students who bring two pencils sharpened and ready for school and a personal pencil sharpener.
Also, please remember to send in the $6.00 for the field trip and the permission form. Thank you to those that have already done so!
Enjoy the nice weather this weekend!
I have to go to another session of the district reading training on Monday. Ms. Lee will be the substitute again. The children like her and she does a good job. Happy Halloween.

Thank you Ms. Fady for reading to the morning class this morning. The children enjoyed listening to Ms. Fady read as one of their group rotations during reading class. She stayed from 10:00 - 11:00 and read to three groups. If any parent would like to come and read to students, the times are 10-11 for Crawford homeroom and 1:30-2:30 PM for Wallace homeroom. The days are Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. You do have to get a background check through the front office before you can sign up. Please let Ms. Ariss know if you can help as she is coordinating this effort.

Field trip permission slips will be given out soon for the Menil Museum Field trip on November the 10th. We will go there in the morning for a writing workshop tour, eat lunch there and come back right after lunch. The cost will be $6.00 per child. If you want to go ahead and send in the $6.00 I will start collecting the money and check off your child. I'm sure we will need a few parent volunteers to ride the bus and go with us so if you are interested please let Ms. Wallace or me know.

post it notes and vocabulary
If your student is reading for his/her reading log at home and comes across unfamiliar words, have them write the words on post it notes and stick them to a sheet of paper. Then your student can bring the words to class for discussion and clarification. (Post it notes are more fun than just writing them down)
If anyone wants to donate small post it note packs to the class so that I can distribute to eager students who might not have them available at home, I would love it!

Mistake on spelling list - October 3
Well this is annoying! I accidentally msspelled "finish" on the spellingcity website. I cannot find anywhere on the site how to edit the list or even how to delete the list and start over! I can't believe that on a spelling site there is not an "auto correct".
Please correct the first word..."FINISH", not "FINSH"
I am so sorry for such a grievous mistake!
