**Please make sure you read about scheduling, testing, and stories for the next two weeks.  Day Four, this Thursday, will include all tests for this week's story.  Friday will be Day One for the next story.  See instructions below under "Reading/Spelling."

**We are encouraging you to join our PTA!  If our class has 50% join, Mrs. Boyer will plan a very special treat.... We only have TWO members as of today.  If we can get SEVEN more families to join for $10.00 apiece, then LOOK OUT!  I'm ready to bring on the surprise :^)

**PARENTS!  Important note about Accelerated Reading and Classworks computer programs.  Since our school is testing Classworks, which involves reading and math activities online, we will not have time for every student to take an AR test every day.  We are working hard to find a way to balance both programs.  Thanks for your support... And yes, students need to keep reading those books at home!







Student of the Week:  Trey

Day One - Monday - New story, "Tara and Tyree."  Family Times and new Spelling Unit 2 list can be found in the apple binder.

DAY ONE is FRIDAY!  Due to Fall Break, we will introduce the new story, "Ronald Morgan" today.  Students will read this story and practice Spelling words during the weekend/holiday.  Please do NOT take reading book out of town... Next Wednesday through Friday will be Days Two, Three and Four.  All tests for "Ronald Morgan" will be on Friday, October 14th.  Please email me if you have any questions about our calendar and stories.

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.
