Happy Sunday afternoon,

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and got to spend lots of time outdoors.

All parents should have received the yellow packet of Flat Rock information (Oct. 12-13).

• All registration forms and money due by 9/8/17
• Please notify if your child will need a scholarship of up to $30 asap
• All background checks and VIP training must be completed by 9/12/17
• All medications to be administered by teachers must be confirmed and submitted to Mrs. Treibec, our school nurse, by Friday, 10/6/17. Parent chaperones will administer their own child's meds as needed. A letter from her went home on Friday. 

This week brings our first spelling test, tomorrow. The students will also receive their new list that will be written in their assignment book. All the kids seem to like the spelling activities they are doing in class during our language arts block. We took our first short reading test on Friday, but the grades haven't been entered into the gradebook yet. That will happen in a couple of day. In reading this week we will be doing a Reader's Theatre and presenting it in front of our class. This play focuses on using pauses when we read. We will also continue to work on our Personal Narratives during our center time.

In math we will continue to work on place value to the hundred thousand, rounding, and estimation. Tuesday will bring addition into the mix. We will continue to work on two-step story problems also.

This week the kids will be meeting with Miss Burns the last hour of the day to work on science. I will be traveling to Mrs. Moore's class to teach Social Studies.

Thursday morning brings the Colts Camp to Needham. The third and fourth graders will be out in the field from 10:30 to 11:45. This is always a fun time for the kids. If you volunteered to help with this, thank you so much!

As always, if you have any concerns, please get in contact with me. Together let's make this the best year for your child.
