**Read special letter sent home today regarding changes for Spelling in second semester....
Important!! Read the letter sent home to you today. Here are new grading standards for Spelling dictation sentences:
Spelling tests will change as we begin 2nd semester, Unit 4. All words still count 5 points each. Dictation sentences are worth 5 points, too. One mistake on a dictation sentence is -5 points. Remember to practice words missed on each test, because those words will often be seen in the next week's dictation sentences!
Student of the Week: Leslie Jimenez-Hernandez (Next two weeks)
**READING/SPELLING ---- No Spelling homework this week! We will begin Unit 4 Spelling words that are in your Apple Binder next TUESDAY.

**Fact drill that counts for a grade this nine weeks is 50 subtraction facts, 3 minutes. Again, the best out of nine tests will be counted. Practice continues on 100 addition facts.
**SOCIAL SCIENCE:
Students will predict what plants need to grow. We will study seeds and their development, too. Students have planted grass seeds in styrofoams cups.... We call him "Mr. Grasshead!" As grass grows, Mr. Grasshead's hair will be measured. He will get a haircut when his "hair' has grown long enough :^)
