REMINDERS

I am excited about the upcoming parent teacher
conferences. I always look forward to
discussing your child’s progress and learning
with you. You should find your date and time
attached to this newsletter.

Students now have access to SumDog,
Xtramath and IXL. These are great sites to
have students practice math facts at home.
Using these sites does allow both of us to track
his/her progress through the practice that is
done.

Raz Kids is now available for home use. I sent
home password information a couple of weeks
ago. Please let me know if you need me to send
this home once again. Raz Kids is a great
online reading program that checks the
student’s comprehension of the texts that are
read.

I will be placing another book order on October
17thif you missed out on the order this week.
Our online code is HY3PP.
Here is the chart from our work on Tuesday with
Character Traits.
Dear Room 107 Families,
This week in reading we started with learning about character
traits and will continue to work on this next week. We learned
that character traits are adjectives and are about a person on the
inside, as opposed to their physical characteristics. Students
received a list of some of the character traits and we work
together while reading some great books to look for those traits
in.
THE WEEK AHEAD- SPECIALS
In math we will begin our data and probability study next week.
This is one of my favorite math units, so I am excited to jump in!
Data is so much fun since it is math that we do daily in life!
Ideas to help at home would be to talk about the probability of
certain things happening. Also discussing graphs and data that
you see in daily life is helpful in the classroom. I will send more
information home soon that will give you more ideas of what you
can do at home to help your child do great with data.
Thank you to everyone involved in PTA. This year our class will
have the benefit of using materials funded with the PTA mini
grant. We will soon have a nice set of magnetic dry erase
boards, markers, erasers, as well as a class set of clipboards. I
am thankful for the mini-grants and the support the Coleman
PTA gives its staff and students! They make the job that I do
easier!
Thank you for your continued partnership,
Mrs. Trisha Campbell
