minutes reading Accelerated Reader books. Students may bring a towel to
sit on and a light snack for these events.
As noted in the math section of this newsletter, we will have Fraction Friday

your child is allergic to anything that could be in these two foods, please let
me know and I will make arrangements for them to have something else to
eat.

RECAP OF A SUPER SEPTEMBER:
September was a great month for our class! To the right, you see Snapshots of our
Super September. Cade and Brian are shown developing a government, just as our
forefathers of South Carolina did. Bria is seen with her tiger face on during our Silly
September event. Many of our students are shown in the afterschool Art Club,
where they are seen holding up their craft. Caroline has her plant proudly in her
hand to show that she knows what nutrients a plant needs to grow. Christine is
practicing for her morning piano lesson with Ms. Bell. Your children are growing in
their knowledge with each passing day, and I cannot wait to see them blossom!
STUDY TIME REMINDER:
On the class website, there are graphing organizers and timelines to help your child
understand in class material. For vocabulary, I have a link on my website to an online
flashcard website. Also, be sure to check your childs binder for study helpers that
were created in class. Thank you very much for the time that you spend helping your
child understand class material!
