Don't forget that the Native American test is Monday. The kids have had a study guide for a week, so hopefully they have been studying each day. After Native Americans, we will move on to Explorers. We have six major European explorers to study, and yes, this is a very in depth unit just like the Native Americans.
We tested on Graphs/Data Analyzing on Friday in math, and we will be moving on to coordinate graphing this week. This unit only takes a few days, so they will most likely test on Friday. It's actually a fun little unit. After that, we will spend a week reviewing all math skills taught this nine weeks in order to prepare for our math benchmark test. This test will test them over all skills taught this first nine weeks of school, and it does count as a grade.
In your child's Friday folder there is a conference form. If your child has a sibling, I met with that child's teacher and we tried to come up with times that were close together in order to help you out. It is always very hard to schedule 25 conferences. I thank you for understanding that I have to remain on a schedule for these two days. Conferences are scheduled for 20 minutes and they can't go over into another time slot. If one conference goes over just by 5 minutes, it can throw all of the other conferences off for the rest of the day. I do look forward to meeting with each of you. Please sign and return the conference form on Monday.
Your child received a Gladiator reading bookmark in their Friday folder two weeks ago. If your child wanted to participate in this, it is due on Sept. 26... THIS Monday.
The book fair is coming to Burnette. Our preview day is October 3, and our shopping day is October 6.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Please excuse any typos. Thanks!
