We have not met our 100% attendance goal the past few weeks! Let's see if we can get back on track next week and have 100% attendance every day!
BOX TOPS
CONGRATULATIONS! Our class was the winner for box top collection for Quarter 1! Keep up the good work! Keep sending in those box tops!

New Printed ID's and Volunteer Procedures
It is extremely important that anyone who plans to attend a school field trip or visit the classroom return the CPS History form ASAP. The new ID program, Raptor, requires this form to be on file and in the security system. If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
Boys' Basketball Practice
Monday practices are 5:30-7:00, Wednesday practices are 6:30-8:30.
Science
We will begin our study of Science Chapter 3, Technology and Motion. We will be doing a packet page daily with a quiz on Friday. Students will keep the packet in their homework folder throughout the week so they can review it daily to prepare for the quiz. It will be essential that students study for the quiz. The quiz is not easy!
Spelling
We have started Prefix/Suffix Spelling lists. This week the prefixes are anti-, sub-, em-, en-, trans- and micro-. The list can be found on Spelling City with the link below. Test will be on Friday.
Reading Vocabulary
Our list this week is List #12. It is available on Quizlet and with a paper copy in the yellow homework folder. The quiz will be on Thursday.

- No more than 2 sentences may begin with the word "I".
- Sentences should include 3 questions and 3 exclamations.
- The Spelling word in each sentence should be underlined.
- The sentences may be hand written or typed in the Pages App or Google Docs (I can print them at school, if needed).
AR Goals
Students should be at 30% of their AR goal by this Friday, November 6th. Progress on goals can be checked by logging in to Ren Place Home Connect for the school website or by having your student pull up the last quiz taken from their AR bookshelf and look at the tops report.https://hosted274.renlearn.com/122338/HomeConnect/
