Spelling Sentences
Oops! I forgot to add the spelling sentences last time...
Sentence 1: Ask Dan to clap.
Sentence 2: The pan is in the sink.
Also, a quick reminder that through the month of October, to show our support for breast cancer awareness, Fridays are also being called "pink Fridays", where students may wear whatever dress down clothes they wish as long as they are wearing something pink. We will discuss this more in class and as well as the importance of showing our support for such causes.

Spelling, Report Cards, etc.
Spelling List 5: ask, big, can, cat, drop, lost, ants, snip, flag, stand, of, to
Report Cards: There may be some concern about some 0's received on report cards. The main reason this occurred is because there was not enough information to give a more complete grade. If a student had several unexcused absences and missed some of the assignments, or was under-performing on the assignments they did complete, a zero was given. In the writing portion of the grades, only one formal test was given that counted towards this section. If a student achieved two out of four goals for this assignment (which is completely normal at this stage in their writing), they received a score of 2 out of 4. Since this is still only 50%, the child was given a grade of 0 on their report card. Do not worry, again, this is normal at this stage, especially since we have only done one formal writing test! As always if there are questions or concerns, please contact me and we'll set up a conference.
