Parents, I sent home graded papers for you to review, sign, and return to me. Also, you will find stapled in your student's agenda a Tiger Pride assembly invitation, and a request for a conference during next week's conference week. I'm sure some of you will need to reschedule. I will try to accommodate you as far as possible. Below is some information regarding Red Ribbon Week (tomorrow is hat day) and the Book Fair.
Here's the homework:
Spelling: study Sort 10 words
Reading: AR for at least 30 mins. We took the STAR reading test today and I will be sharing the results with you next week.
Grammar: We did not have time to take the test on subjects and predicates today, so that will happen tomorrow.
Math:
-Review Math Journal
-Complete RW 44, "Multiply by Tens"
-First in Math
Social Studies: read TB pp 42-43 and answer questions 1-6 on p. 43
Work in packets
Next week is Red Ribbon Week 2011! Teasley will celebrate by promoting healthy lifestyle choices and encouraging students to stay away from drugs and unhealthy choices. We want this week to be fun and educational, so we encourage families to use this opportunity to discuss these topics with their children. Click on the websites below for tips about talking with kids about these serious issues.
In addition to daily announcements on the Teasley Town News about healthy eating choices, exercise, and drug awareness, we encourage students to participate in these activities:
Monday: We Pledge to be Drug-Free! – All students will sign a class pledge, promising to be drug-free
Tuesday: Sock it to Drugs! – Students may wear their favorite “crazy” socks or mismatched socks to school
Wednesday: Put a Cap on Drugs! – Students may wear a hat or cap to school
Thursday: Red Ribbon Day – Students should wear a red shirt
Friday: Team Up Against Drugs – Students may wear a shirt that shows they have better things to do than drugs! It can be a sports team shirt, a Boy/Girl Scouts shirt, another club/activity shirt, or of course, a Teasley shirt!
