News To Know:
Popcorn sales are every Friday. Proceeds go to various community programs such as the Humane Society, The Scott County Clearing House etc. Popcorn is $1.00 and money MUST be at VFES by 9AM Friday in order to purchase a bag for that day.
Bottle Caps
The Scottsburg FFA, Scott County 4-H and the Scott County Farm Bureau have teamed up to collect bottle caps and lids to make benches to be donated in memory of Annalee Harrison-Turley. She was a proud VFES parent. Thanks to Miss. LaKynn McDonald, we will be collecting bottle caps as well! If you are able, please send in bottle caps to our classroom. I will be giving the student that collects the most a special prize! I will be running the donation drive until Christmas break in my room. Below is a picture of the acceptable bottle caps.
Just a little note about homework...
Spelling homework is to be practiced at your own discretion, but nothing needs to be returned. There are examples of ways to practice in the DOT folder (these will change monthly). There will be a one minute read to keep and practice each night. Please have your son/daughter turn these in on Friday for a prize. Math practice pages will come home most nights unless we have a quiz or a test that day. We will send home a reading comprehension page every Tuesday to practice. Monday and Thursday nights the big green reading street book will come home for your son/daughter to practice reading the weekly story. You can practice this however you like as long as they become familiar with the story before we test on Friday. Homework is expected to be returned the next day; however, it is not graded. I check them and they are given a sticker for their chart. Once their chart is full they get a full night's homework pass. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Spelling List
Below you will find the weekly spelling list. There is also a link to our spelling city account to practice spelling at home.The test will always be on Friday mornings unless otherwise scheduled. Each word will count as one point. Sentences will count as three points. One point for capitalization, one point for spelling, and one point for ending punctuation.
