Have a great weekend!

Please remember to check your child's Friday Folder each Friday (or last day of the week) and SIGN and RETURN the left half of the Friday Folder Report. It helps me to know that you know that I know...about your child's progress:)

If your child has not already selected a realistic fiction book for his/her literature project, please help them do so or let me know so that I can help them choose an appropriate book. The project and presentation will take place on Sept. 28.

All students in Grades 2,3, and 4 will use a computerized diagnostic testing program called ThinkLink during the week of Sept. 24. Fourth grade students are assigned to the computer lab on Monday and Wednesday of that week. This is the first time for fourth graders, but the second grade teachers have raved about its effectiveness.

Today we learned about the scientific method using M&Ms, took a spelling test, practiced counting money in math, painted our Ohio maps, and used our Reading Buckle Down for test preparation. Ask your child for details!

The weather should be much better this weekend-ENJOY!
