J  Hi! I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Please check your child’s homework every day.  Even if your child may have completed his/her homework in the after-school class please check to see that it has been done correctly.   

Thank you to those that came in for conferences last week. Parent/teacher communication is so very important to student academic growth.

This Wednesday, October 1, is Duds for Dollars Day.

The last day of the quarter is this Friday, October 3. Report cards will be sent home that day.

Fall Break is Monday through Friday, October 6-10. There will be no school that week.

UPCOMING IN CLASS:         

This week students will learn final stable syllables –ble, -dle, -fle, and sight words.  In reading students will analyze characters in a story. In math students will continue

to count money, add with and without regrouping, and solve word problems.  

CONTACT NUMBERS

The phone number for La Paloma Academy is 721-4205.  If you wish to communicate through email, you may reach me at kwitt09@yahoo.com. (Please enter your child’s name as the subject  – thanks).

Please assist your child with his/her homework if necessary and be sure he/she returns it the next day.

This week’s spelling word list is attached to the newsletter. Please have your child read and practice the words daily.

Also attached is this week’s reading log. Children should read every day to improve their reading skills.  This is a required assignment due on Monday and YOUR CHILD must be the one completing the reading log.
