I forgot to mention a few things in my email from last night:
-- PTO Whale Wishes were sent home in folders on Friday. You can pay $1 and write a message or wish on the whale for your student. These whales are displayed all around the school and students love seeing their personalized messages! Please return personalized whales and money in your student's blue Willett folder.
-- September's Scholastic Book Order was submitted on Friday. Typically, it takes 2 weeks for the books to be delivered to school. Once they arrive at Willett I distribute the books to the students who ordered them. If you did not get a chance to order from September's order, or if you would like to order more books, I am sending home 4 October Book Orders. The orders will be due on 10/6. The best way to order is online by using our unique code GZV3K. When I am on maternity leave I will only be accepting online orders as I will not be in the classroom to collect orders and money to submit. Online orders I can submit right from home and then the teacher can distribute the books.
Today we took our spelling pre-test. Students correct their own pre-test using crayon. I have also posted the spelling words on our classroom website: http://mrsbowergrade1.weebly.com/ Please have students practice these words all week in preparation for our spelling test on Friday. We have two tricky bonus words, but if both are correct on Friday students have a chance to earn 10 extra points -- meaning they could score 110% on the spelling test!! :)
