Parent/Teacher Conferences – I am looking forward to meeting with you at conferences this week. We are meeting so that we can work as a team to see how we can best help your student succeed this year. Conference time slots are scheduled every 30 minutes but will be about 15-20 minutes long. If you have back-to-back conferences in another classroom beforehand, we may be able to begin early rather than having you wait. If my door is open, I am available.
Early Dismissal – Due to our conferences, we will have an early dismissal at 11:40 today, and there will be no classes tomorrow.
Math – We take our Chapter 2 test next week. It covers “Addition within 1000”. Next, we will begin working on Chapter 3, which is “Subtraction within 1000”.
Reading – We are finishing the last story in our first unit next week. The theme was “Environments”. We have been working with traditional tales (including folk tales and legends), realistic fiction, informational text, and poetry. Our next unit theme is “Interactions”. We will focus mainly on informational text, but will also examine persuasive text and realistic fiction.
School Picture Day – Thursday, September 25th. Students may wear a non-uniform shirt with uniform bottoms. If girls choose to wear a dress for school pictures, they must bring a full uniform to change into.
Fall Break – School will not be in session from Monday, September 29th, to Friday, October 3rd. Enjoy fall break!
Spelling for next week: vowel diphthongs ou, ow, oi, oy

Memory for September 25:
The Fourth Commandment and its meaning
Honor your father and mother.
What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not despise or anger our parents or other authorities, but honor them, serve and obey them, love and cherish them.
