Miss Brown's Bulletin
Week of November 30-December 4
Leader of the Month
Our Leader of the Month for November is...(drum roll please)...TAYLOR J! Taylor J is a leader in so many ways! He always comes to school prepared, he always puts first things first in morning and throughout the day, he stays on track towards meeting his goals (he's ALREADY met BOTH Compass goals!), he shows kindness to his classmates, he always gives 100%....I could go on and on but I think it is clear why Taylor J. is representing our class as LOTM. Keep up the awesome leadership!
STAR Testing
This week we will begin round 3 of STAR testing. I can't wait to see how much the kiddos have grown from the fall to now! Our first test will be in Reading from 8-9 a.m. this Thursday, December 3. We will test in Math the following Monday from 11-12 a.m. Both tests will take place in the classroom. Results will be sent home Monday, December 14 after everyone has taken the test and I have analyzed the scores.
We rocked the Canned Food Drive! Thanks to all for their donations, especially the Deitz family. You all are AWESOME!
Reading Reward
Calendars for the month of November are due this Tuesday, December 1. A notification will be sent home in planners once I check them Tuesday. I have been checking them throughout the month and it looks like we should have several of the students earning the reward! AWESOME!

We Are Learning To...
Language Arts
This will we will be focusing on writing. We will be working on the qualities of a good paragraph, what explanations/details look like and sound like in writing, and also reviewing our most recent on-demand writing scores.
Math
We will move on to Topic C this week where students will practice rounding numbers to the nearest ten or hundred. Please review the Topic C study guide sent home last week to help your child with these skills.
