Today we became enlightened on the subject of Woodie Gutherie.  He led an incredible life in a time of incredible despair.  Through his fight for justice and fairness we gained songs like, This Land is Your Land. Ask your child to share what they leaned while reading the biography of Woodrow Wilson Gutherie.

Tonight students should be studying the Lesson 4-5 Word Part - Meaning and Spellings.  The reading test this week is hard.  The more familiar they are with the word parts, the better they will be able to concentrate on reading.  We have had many discussions about the difficulty of this week's test.  I have encouraged the kids by reinforcing, "It is hard, but you can do hard work." Please continue to support and study with your student at home.

Tomorrow is our McDonald's fundraiser.  I will be there from about 5-5:30.  After that I am headed to Heritage Hall at the fairgrounds for the Halloween Bash. Click the link for more information. All are welcome to this free event.  I hope to see you at one or both events.
