Theme Update
This week in Theme we will be talking about our own towns and what are the key components of a town (needs versus wants). We will be using our own towns as models of what we want in the town we will be building in class. For our classroom town we will be creating our own town laws, voting for a mayor and reviewing coordinated grid maps. Each student will be making a house for the town in class and then a town building for homework. Look in this week's homework folders for their two week town building assignment. These are not due until October 6th, but can come in earlier if you finish early.
Conference Requests
This week in your white Weekly Folder you will see a green conference request. These are due back by this Thursday, September 25th!!!!! Please choose your top three choices. If you will be out of town, please let us know. If you choose to take this as a vacation we are not obligated to make up your coference at a different time. We will be sending home your conference time in next week's Weekly Folder. Thank you doing your part so we can schedule 150 conferences with 6 teachers over two and a half days. It is quite a feat!
Scholastic
Don't forget Scholastic orders are due back tomorrow! Thank you for helping suport our classroom library!
Label, Label, Label
It is important, now that cooler weather is here, to label those jackets. Labeling backpacks, lunch boxes and water bottles are important too. Please include last name and first initial of first name. Anything that is lost is taken to Lost and Found in the front lobby.
