Fri. Sept. 30th Dress Down Day
Short Day
The apple witches are shrinking daily, and becoming scarier. I will be sending home a dress pattern that also has a pattern for the witch hat and gloves. Please be aware of this. For the dress, you will need a doubled piece of material that is about 9 X 12. and a small piece of coordinating felt. Please plan of cutting the dress out and if possible sewing a VERY small seam, leaving a tiny hole at the top, and the sleeves open. If you are not able to sew your dress, please let me know and I will arrange to have it sewn for you. On the same note, if you can sew someone else’s dress, please let me know. I will be sending out a Bloomz for volunteers to make hair, sew dresses, make brooms, and to come help us dress the witches at school.
Parent Teacher Conferences are this Thursday from 3:30 to 5:30. The initial sign-up was sent out on Bloomz, and I have 4:15 and 4:45 left. If you would like either of these times, please send me an e-mail, or go on Bloomz and schedule an open time.
Homework:
Quest homework policy is 10 minutes of homework is allowed times the grade your child is in school, plus 20 minutes of reading time. With this in mind, your child should only be spending 30 minutes on math, and spelling, and then the 20 minutes of reading. If it is taking your child longer than this to complete their homework, have them stop when their 30 minutes is over.
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:Directions for the spelling sorts and a sample document of what spelling will look like at the end of the week are both available here: Spelling Sorts and Description
There is no need to submit a spelling entry on the homework form, as the submission in Google classroom will serve this purpose.
Here is the sort for this week:
