A Couple of Housekeeping Items
Good Afternoon Everyone-
I have a couple of housekeeping items I would like to bring to your attention:
1. The Social Studies Quiz that came home with your child today is their study guide for the test on Wednesday. The children should also review all the loose handouts/maps in their Social Studies pocket in their binder as well as their Social Studies Notebooks.
2. The Health homework for tonight is left over classwork from this morning. The children only need to write down the answers to questions 1-22. The word bank at the top of the page are the words needed to complete number 1-17.
3. Please remind your child that it is their responsibility to complete their homework each night and bring it to class prepared to either hand it in or have it checked and reviewed. We have had some slips with this the past couple of weeks and I think a bit of double checking at home would help. Thanks.
4. If your child has an enrichment class to attend please send in a note with the dates of the class and the location. This will help me know where to dismiss your child without any confusion.
5. Lynn Cook (Charlotte's mom) is organizing our Halloween Party on Monday, October 31st. Your help with this is needed and appreciated. The children will participate in the annual Halloween Parade on Monday at 2pm. We could use a couple of parents to help us patrol the bathrooms as the children change. The party after the parade will be in our class. If you can help with paper goods, a small snack/treat, drinks or a game please contact Lynn (lynn.cook@towerswatson.com) to let her know what you can do to help. This is a fun afternoon. I hope you will be able to join us.
I think that is all for now. I hope everyone's evenings go well.

Social Studies Test Update
Good Afternoon Everyone!
I know you were all looking forward to the Social Studies study guide and the test this week. (wink, wink, nod, nod). We have been moving at a slightly slower pace than I anticipated last week and were not ready to test out this unit this week.
I am having the children take a "study guide" quiz today in class. This will be a check for them to see how much of the material they know. I will look all the quizzes over this weekend and return them to the children on Monday. We will do a big review of Maps and Globes in class on Monday, Learning Lunch on Tuesday and will have our unit test on Wednesday. The children will also bring home the notebook they have been keeping all their class work in to help with studying. Should you wish to take the test as well, just let me know! ; )
Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend.

Upcoming Math Test
Good Afternoon Everyone-
As you will see in your child's assignment notebook, we will be having our first math test this Friday, October 14th. This test will cover all the material in the first unit of the Math textbook. This includes: place value, greater than less than, word form, standard form, expanded form, and proof drawings (better known as picture form). In addition the unit includes multi-digit addition and subtraction. We did a review in class this morning and the children all demonstrated a good command of these learning essentials.
To prepare for the test I have told the children to go over the unit in their math books, look through their math notebooks, and to go over homework and classwork papers. Any additional help you can lend at home will be helpful as well.
If you have any additional questions, please drop me an e-mail. Thanks-
