Dear Families

This has been a short but productive week.  Just a reminder that the Independent Book Log Assignment, or the “12 of 18”,  is due Tuesday October 20^th.  There is an expectation that all the work is of high quality.  Please check in with your child to be sure that they are keeping up and that they have completed or will have completed 12 of the 18 by Tuesday October 20^th.  It is important that students read and adhere to the scoring rubric.  Remember that: neatness counts,  spelling counts, and punctuation counts.  Students should also be keeping track of their independent reading in the Weekly Reading Log.  This is due each Wednesday.  The new POW (math Problem of the week), Things I’ve Been Pondering, is due Wednesday October 21^st. 

Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Friday November 6^th.  Please read the information sent home with your child on Friday about Parent Teacher Conferences.  Please fill out the sign-up sheet about possible conference times and return it to me by Friday, October 23rd.

Have a great weekend.  Ellen
