MAPs tests are finished!!!!
Today we completed our language/grammar portion of the MAPs tests. I do not know when we will get our scores, nor how much will be explained to us. I will share with you what I know at conferences. If you did not get to the Open House last week, I will be sending you a conference time. Please confirm and send back the sheet as soon as possible.Our October reading log is coming home today. Please send back September's if you still have it! I will be recording the minutes on a large chart for the children. If you did not do a September reading log, don't worry, you are not alone. Our goal for October will be 10-15 minutes/5 nights per week. I am not asking you to write down the name of the books read, just the minutes. It is ok for your child to read easier material - but have them read with great expression. Even re-read portions "like an actor!" OREGON MANOR - we have had some trouble getting things arranged, but finally I think we are back on track for the third Friday of the month and a definite time of 9:00. However, the activity lady now tells me that 9 will be too late to do exercise. So I am looking for simple crafts or other ideas for us to do at the Manor. We have about 1/2 hour - HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????Look for an October Calendar for the specials and days off also.Hasta Luego ~ Senora S. y Munchitos

Autumn Weather
It finally feels fall-like! It was almost chilly in our room, also. So far, I haven't figured out if we will be cool or warm all winter, so it is a good idea to always send a sweatshirt/sweater, light jacket along as these days cool down. We may not need the wraps outside, but we might INSIDE! :)Congratulations Brewers! We will have a "Brewer Day" on Wednesday. Your child may wear blue/white/yellow, Brewer's jerseys, t-shirts, other sports-related wear or just regular clothes. I hope to come up with a math game to go along with baseball! Math homework should start coming home several times a week now. Math will be due the following day or as soon as you can get it back. Spelling homework should always come home on Monday and is due on Friday or Thursday if there isn't a Friday in the week. TONIGHT's homework is to write a number story. Number Model is the same as number sentence or equation. UNIT refers to what we are adding or subtracting - like cents, dollars, cookies, shoes, minutes, etc. It's like a new language!Library was today and a few students will be getting overdue notices unless we can get those books back ASAP! We do have Library every 4 days, but I allow the children to return books anyday they bring them in.Also coming home tonight are packets for the PTO fundraiser. Many of the special acivities are paid for by PTO. Assemblies, books for classrooms, sometimes field trips! We teachers really appreciate all PTO does for our school and our children.All for tonight - we're tired - it's Monday! Mrs. S. and The Munchkins

Well, if you are checking this blog for updates, you have probably realized I goofed! I have TWO blogs going! Here I will try to give you a link to the other blog that I have been updating more frequently - if it doesn't work, the address is the same as this one, without the 1 in it.
