I had a parent ask about the vocabulary words, so I thought I would post a picture. :-)

Homecoming and more!
Hello! This week is homecoming week. Please encourage your son and daughter to come to school on Friday wearing Black and Gold like a CANE!! Tomorrow the Canes Pro Shop will be selling tattoos for $1 and necklaces for $2 to really rev up the school spirit. :)
On Friday, the students will gather at 9:00am in the gymnasium for a pep assembly. On Friday afternoon, all students will gather outside on 5th street to watch the homecoming parade go by around 2:30. It should be a lot of fun for everyone!
In ELA, we are still reading Judy Blume's Tales of a 4th Grade Nothing. The students really seem to enjoy this light-hearted and fun book. It is completely relatable (as is most of Judy Blume's work) and has plenty of humor. There will be a vocabulary test on Friday for the following words: apartment, elevator, cushioned, advertising, commercial, mumbling, advantages, insulted, discussing, and reptiles. The students should have copied each definition down on their flashcards. If they haven't, the definitions are posted on board for students to copy before Friday.
We have started Writer's Workshop and most of the kids are loving it! We are working on a realistic fiction piece. Today we discussed how writers can get ideas from ordinary moments or from stories they wish existed. Please ask your son/daughter about what they have been writing in class.
As always, please email with any questions.
GO CANES!

Greetings! I am happy to report all of the children and staff survived the first day of school. In fact, I think we all had FUN!! I sent home an assignment for parents tonight, so please be sure to check your son/daughter's take home folders for the letter and also please make sure you sign their assignment notebooks. I will be sending home more information about the app Remind 101 later this week, so stay tuned.
We had a WONDERFUL first day and I am so EXCITED to be able to work with all of you. We are going to make it a rockin' year. :)
