Spelling: Grade 1: 10/29 ram, sat, hat, rat, bat, jam, fat (This is a great list for 1st grade! They already know how to spell the words so it will be an easy way to ease into spelling tests.)

Scholastic Book Order: This week I’m sending home a book order. It seems that Scholastic doesn’t have as many good choices as they used to offer. This particular magazine has some nice books. If you wish to order return the order by Friday, October 29. The checks should be addressed to Scholastic Book Club.

October 29 Show & Tell: Friday, October 29, will be our favorite food potluck. This Show & Tell has become a much loved tradition. Each student should bring a special food item to share with the class. No one should bring a lunch or order hot lunch there is always been plenty of food!

Pathways Reading Book: We have completed Cactus Hotel and will be beginning Pokey next week.

October Reading Calendar: Monday, November 1, the October reading calendar should be returned. If your student has finished 240 minutes already, then please send the calendar in with the homework folder on Friday. This is the first month of the Pizza Hut Book-it Program.

Parent-Teacher Conferences: Remember school gets out at 1:00 PM on both Wednesday and Thursday next week so parents and teachers can meet for conferences. Mrs. Hibbs has the schedule master list in the office. If you have any questions, contact her.
