The Apple Witches are Carved and Drying!

A huge shout out to the moms that were able to help us carve apple witches on Friday.  The kids did great and our witches are going to turn out amazing!  Thank you JayLynn Larsen,  Jennifer Brown and Katie Butler, without you, the apple witches probably wouldn’t have happened.  If you weren’t able to come help us this time, not to worry, we will need help again in October to dress them.

I will post pictures of their progress for the next 4 weeks and you’ll be able to see them change as the dehydrate and start to shrivel up.

I hope homework is going well.  Prodigy Game is a fabulous tool for math, but it does have the upgrade that the kids want to purchase and REALLY don’t need.  I go in each week and assign them the topics we are working on, or the concepts they are struggling with.  When they complete these assignments, the computer adapts to what they need more practice in.  Please do not feel like you need to subscribe to the upgrade.  I am amazed at how many of them have completed over 100 questions in just one week.  I’m so IMPRESSED.  Also, I have been able to log into Prodigy on several different iPads, Notebooks, Tablets and computers.  If your child is having a problem with this, please have them click here:  Prodigygame and it should take them to the game.  Also check the username and password against the paper that was sent home.

Parent Teacher Conferences
Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Thursday September 24th.  If you are interested in meeting with me, please let me know as soon as possible as I will fill any open appointments later this week. I try and meet with every child’s parent at least once, so don’t be surprised if you call to come and celebrate your child’s achievements.

Homework for this week:

Reading: 20 minutes 5 nights a week.  I can’t even start to tell you how important this 20 minutes is.  If things are hectic, please don’t skip this one!  Some suggestions that may help are have an older child read to a younger sibling.  Read a book as a family, giving everyone a chance to read out loud, but only takes 20 minutes and everyone is done.  

Math:  Prodigy Game  3 times a week for at least 15 minutes each night.

Spelling:

BYU:  Sort 1
Utah State: Sort 19
U of U:  Sort 29
Weber State: Sort 36

Have a great week!
