Parents,

Oct. 31 Immigration Day,  Students come to school dressed as immigrants with a bag of 3 items that they would have brought with them on their journey. Boys could  wear roll up pants with them tucked in to their stockings, a shirt with a collar and vest.  Girls could wear long dresses or skirts of Moms with shawls.  Food of their country is a choice. Let me know if you have any questions.

Nov. 13, Thursday-Trip to theKennebunk/Kennebunkport Water Treatment Plant.  This is in conjunction with our science unit Watery Earth.  We will tour the drinking water plant.

I will need two chaperones.  Thank you in advance.

Students continue to be very engaged in their learning.

We have finished Owls in the Family  They should all know how to write a summary of a chapter or a book.  Also, they should know all the jobs in a Literature Circle.  Book reports are due Nov. 5th.  This will be a poster of a special part of their fiction book.

Spelling is improving and some are really trying hard to earn their gold medals.

Multiplication facts are an important part of Unit 3 in Everyday Math.  Please try to spend 10 minutes a night practicing with your child.

We are busy researching our country for the Immigration Unit.  Also, a letter is being composed about the voyage to this country from their homeland.

Ellis Island arrival date is Friday, October 31st.  Students should come wearing as much of his/her outfit as possible. They also need a basket. sack, or small old suitcase to carry three items from the old country.  (old book, doll, stuffed animal etc.) 

We would like to thank Matt Lamper's mother, Chloe Smith's friend, and Ally Coughlan's dad for helping out by chaperoning to the Wells Reserve.  It was a fantastic day and a real learning experience for the students.

Conferences are coming soon in November.  I will be in touch with everyone to set up a date.  

I appreciate your continued support with your child's homework.

 I just want to share a few things.   We all had a great week, but the most exciting was all the students received 90% or above on their spelling test today!   WOW!!  I have never had that happen before.  These are sight words that follow no rules or pattern.  They just have to practice, practice.  Thanks for all your efforts in helping them accomplish this goal.  Do you think it's those gold olympic medals they want so badly?

We finished Unit 1 in Everyday Math and will begin Unit 2 on Monday. 

 I also want to thank all of you who made it to Parent Infomation Night on Monday.  It was great meeting the parents of these wonderful children that I get to spend so much time with.

Everyone is working very hard here.  If you have any concerns or questions please e-mail me.

Have a wonderful relaxing weekend and enjoy your children.
