Greetings from Room 10,
In
honor of Veteran’s Day, the children participated in a Veteran’s Day assembly last
Friday afternoon. With Mrs. Bacher’s class taking the lead, the
children performed a Veteran’s Day chant.
The assembly was attended by the entire school community and it was a
beautiful tribute to our veterans.
Conferences
begin next week. Tuesday, November 20th
is a ½ day for the children. I have
allotted 25 minutes for each conference.
Your child’s report card will be available through BC@home the day
before your scheduled conference. A
separate math report card will be on-line for those students who do not have me
as their math teacher. I look forward to
meeting with you all to discuss your child’s progress.
This
week the children completed eight literacy stations that included reading Time
for Kids, National Geographics and writing from the perspective of a falling
leaf. Speaking of writing, the children
have completed their memoir and hopefully (I am keeping my fingers crossed) the
editing process will be complete by lunchtime tomorrow morning. This could NOT be possible without the help
of our class editors: Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Kee and Mrs. Taranto. The children
wrote pretty long pieces so we were only able to complete about 15 of the 25
kids Thursday afternoon. Next week we
will TYPE them. Wish us luck!
Speaking of next week, the
vocabulary unit ends on Wednesday with a 50-word spelling test and vocabulary
test. The children should have been
keeping their spelling/vocabulary words for the last several weeks, and you
should begin to see them study for this test.
I know some of you are heading out for the Thanksgiving holiday a bit early, so I hope
to give the test first thing Wednesday morning.
If your child will not be in school on Wednesday, they should tell me so
I can give him or her the test on Tuesday.
Pajama day and a popcorn party made
our week extra special! Lester
Betor & class
