Books Fair:
The book fair is here! As your students are looking for books to purchase they can also look at my “wish list.” I wrote down some books that we need in our classroom. Students can donate these books to our class library if you are able to.
Flu:
Please make sure you encourage students to wash their hands often, cough into their elbows, and stay home if they are sick. Every day I have the kids wash with anti-bacterial soap and we wash our desks with disinfectant after school.
Organization:
Organization is a life skill that every child in this class needs to work on. You can help at home by making sure your student has their student planner and their homework folder at school everyday.
October 30th:
Character book dress up day is coming up. Please make sure if your student dressses up they have a book to go along with their costume. Remember this is character book dress up.

Work on speeches---Be ready to present this Friday!
Hello,
I am Nancy Ornee (Miss O to the kids) and I will be working in the classroom with Mrs. Brown for about 5 weeks. I am in the MAT program at George Fox University and am in the Student Teaching part of my program. I have been with Salem/Keizer Schools for 13 years, as an Instructional Assistant, and decided to get my certification to teach math at the middle school level. I have two grown children, and 5 grand-children and am not as young as I look! I hope to be a benefit to your child’s class.
I’m halfway through my first day here and am already enjoying your children. They are a great bunch of kids and I look forward to learning from them and helping them to learn!

Homework:

Math sheet
Class Store:
The class store will soon be upon me. This is when students who have earned money with good behavior, turning in homework, and class jobs can buy some fun stuff as a reward. I have bought a few things from the Dollar Tree and two parents have donated this month. If you are out and about and can pick up 2 or 3 things that would be great: juice boxes, fruit snacks, granola bars, candy, individual sized bags of chips.....whatever you think kids would like.
Harvest Party:
On October 30th its character book dress up day and I think it would be fun to have a "Harvest Party." If any one wants to help with this, or plan it let me know. I would love the help. It doesn't have to be a huge thing, maybe a craft or two, a game, a movie..... and lots of candy. If you can help by bringing in a bag of candy to share with a class of 25 that would be great!
I know money is tight with everyone, but if we all work together it will be fun! I used to be able to do this on my own, but with diapers, and all that stuff its a lot harder :0).
Field trip:
Permission slips for the pumpkin patch are slowly coming in. Please make sure your student turns it in with $3.00 by 10/28/09. If there is no permission slip turned in, the student has to stay at school. Parents volunteering please make sure to turn in $3.00 as well, and I will give more information at a later time.

Homework:
Read 30 minutes—Reading logs were due today, but can be brought in Thursday if needed
Math: Comparing numbers
I am sending home Pumpkin Patch permission slips home today. If you emailed me about being a volunteer please indicate you want to be one on the permission slip form. Chaperones will also need to pay $3.00. The good news is you get a pumpkin! J
I am also sending home information about your students first speech of the year! I will also email you that information.
Please remember tomorrow is the jog a thon. Make sure your student is wearing appropriate clothes and shoes.
Reading logs:
I have noticed that some students are not reading every day for at least 30 minutes. It is so important for kids to read for at least 30 minutes or more a day. Even for higher readers. I also ask for students to be honest about how many minutes they have read. If they did not read that day then don’t mark it. Thanks for your help.
Congratulations to all of the 5th graders! They all turned in their reading logs on time today! They have earned a Free Homework Pass!

We Made it to October!
Homework:
Read 30 minutes---New Reading Logs are coming home today. They are cream colored
Math sheet
Thursday Thoughts are coming home today along with other flyers. Students should also be bringing home corrected papers.
Spelling words: We are using the Rebecca Sitton spelling program through out the whole school. There is not a set list of words student need to study. We work on vowels, and sounds and other techniques of spelling. There are 5 words I would like to have the kids study. They may be easy to some kids and harder for others. Please work with your student on these 5 words. We will have a spelling review October 8th.

Math Help:
We have been working on multiplication and place value in math. If you do not have a set of multiplication flash cards at home, now is the time to get them. I think the Dollar Tree has some. Please set aside some time to practice with your student. We have been working on the 2’s, 3’s and just started the 4’s.
