Changes this Week

Since we only have two days this week, there will be no spelling or story of the week from the red reading book.  Instead, we will be completing a variety of Thanksgiving activities in class.  Please bump Week 13’s spelling list to the following week.  We will read “From Seed to Plant” on Week 14 and continue from there.  Therefore, students will not have any Spelling homework this Monday or Tuesday.  They still need to read 15 minutes from an AR or other book though. 

 

We will not have Excel homework this week either. 

 

No tests on Tuesday! 

Class Web Page

Don’t forget to check out our class webpage!  There is very useful and interesting information on our webpage that could be of great help to you if you’re ever unsure about something!  Also, remember to e-mail me with pictures of your child doing something in the community!  Our “Student Highlights” page should be a great feature for all our students!  You can get to our class webpage  from Wittenburg’s webpage, or by typing in: www.geocities.com/erin_russello/homepage.html


 

Reminder of Spelling Changes
Not all students completed the new spelling assignments last week.  Please remember the following changes (excluding this week):
