Don't forget Curriculum Night is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 8 at 7:00 pm. We will start in the multipurpose room. I look forward to seeing you all there!
Thank you to everyone who donated items from Open House's Pitch in and Help board. The supplies are much appreciated!
Scholastic book orders went home last week. I strongly encourage everyone to try to order online. It is so easy and safe! It helps me out too. Orders online or paper orders are due by Thursday, Sept. 11.
Don't forget we're always collecting box tops and pop tabs. Information about Prairieview's box top contest went home last week. A classroom can win a pizza party and extra recess for collecting the most Box Tops and Tyson Labels. Please send them in if you have them at home! I also donate pop tabs to the Ronald McDonald House.

Spelling- This week's words are spelled with oa. The list will go be in the spelling folders on Monday. The test is Friday. We will have a pretest on Monday.
Language Arts-We will continue with Unit 1 this week. Students will be learning what a subject and predicate is of a sentence. The subject tells us whom or what the sentence is about. The predicate tells us what is happening in the sentence. Please review subjects and predicates at home. This can be difficult for the students.

This week we will be reading a story called, The Garden of Abdul Gasazi by Chis Van Allsburg. Vocab words from this story will come home this week and a quiz on them will be next Monday. In addition to working on visualizations we will continue discussing the setting of the story, the characters, and the plot.
