Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 9-9-15

Parents, 

Spelling - Our first spelling test is this Friday.  You child was given their list last Friday.  Today students practiced their words using Spelling City.  This is also linked on our blog.  Students will need to open the folder for their assigned color spelling list.  Then they need to search for the week's list.  This is listed by the story of the week, which can always be found on their ELA sheet.

Weekly Story - Also starting this week is the students' homework assignment of reading the story of the week in the reading textbook.  THIS CAN COUNT TOWARDS THEIR 20 MINUTES OF READING!  Please still have them record this on their reading log.  They are more than welcome to also read from their chapter book if they'd like, and could choose to record this on their log.  The homework story also has an AR quiz that students will take first thing in the morning.  Passing the AR quiz will give them their "homework complete" dojo point for the day.

Breakfast.  Your child is allowed to buy breakfast in the morning.  After talking to some of the students, it seems that some may be eating breakfast twice.  If you do not want you child buying breakfast, make sure you let either me or Mrs. Dressel know.  We don't want you to have any surprises if your child depletes their food service funds early.
