Happy Monday!

It was amazing seeing everyone at the Harvest Fest on Friday!  Thanks to everyone who came out, volunteered, or even just stopped by to say hello!

This week in school is your child's first benchmark in Galileo testing, which is a practice AIMS test.  Their results will show growth from the start of the year.  I will make the information available as soon as I have it.

Friday is November 1st, which marks the start of National Novel Writing Month.  This past month, your child has been planning out a novel.  Each of them have set a word count goal, the minimum at 10,000, and some even reaching as high as 45,000 words!  I encourage them to handwrite their novel.  I am more than happy to type their novel for them if they reach their word count goal.  Please encourage them during this time and make sure that they are writing at home!  It will be homework EVERY DAY of the month!

In math, we will begin multiplying decimals.  In reading, we will read through Chapter 4 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.  In writing, we will plan out the setting for our novels.

Spelling words for the week:
1.             equal
2.                   collect
3.                   perhaps
4.                   rapid
5.                   arrive
6.                   shoulder
7.                   sorrow
8.                   vanish
9.                   aware
10.                subject

Have a great week!
