Students will have the opportunity to do an "Ancestors Report" to be completed and returned no later than Wednesday, October 12, 2011. This report is in your child's Apple Binder, and includes directions on a separate piece of paper. Parents, please help your child learn about yourselves, grandparents, and great-grandparents, date of birth, birthplace, and interesting facts. You may write this information for your child on the sheet provided. There are two parts to this report---the written portion to give to me, and the oral portion, which is to be able to share facts with classmates. Please do not hesitate to email me if you have any questions! I am looking forward to learning more about your families.

NOTE! ***Written questions on the Reading Selection Test will now count as part of the grade, and students will be required to write complete sentences. The teacher will provide a "sentence starter," and students will complete the sentence. You will see this change on Reading tests starting last week, Oct. 7th.
READING
*Day One (last Friday)
Day Two -- Wednesday, October 12th: Read story at home and remember that our Selection Test online and written portion will be this Friday. Practice Spelling words four times every night!

LANGUAGE/SPELLING
This week we are learning about proper nouns. Anytime you see a noun with a "special" name, that noun becomes a proper noun. For example:
principal--- Mrs. Goodin
school----- Coosada Elementary School
street------ Airport Road
SOCIAL SCIENCE
Students will present the written portion of their "Ancestor Report." We will also share in small groups, then children will have the opportunity to share with the whole class, if they choose. We will continue to learn about the importance of ancestors and what they contributed to make our lives so much better!
