Tommorow is a two hour delay! Eat breakfast at home because breakfast will not be served tomorrow morning.  The school will not be open to students until 10:00 am! Today we watched a video about volunteer firefighters because the story this week will be learning about the history of firefighting. Today in library, a small group of kids got out the same books, and Mary got a copy for Ms. Lewis, so a new recess book club has began!  We are reading "The Stupendous Dodgeball Fiasco".  I hope today was a great day for everyone!

Hello!  Today I sent home the 'Disguise a Turkey' Project.  As a family, it is your task to disguise the turkey that was sent home.  The turkey can be any thing you want it to be -- a famous singer, a sports star, an animal, a favorite character in a book, an actor, etc.  The possibilities are endless!  Be creative!  Your child then needs to write a paper on who their turkey is and why they should be spared this Thanksgiving!  If you have any questions, let me know!

Hello, Team Lewis! 

We had another busy day in 202!  We started our day off with our Spelling test (did you know that raspberries had a 'p' in it?!).  Then we went to gym -- we earned another sticker!  We are in first place for the entire school for good behavior & good sportsmanship!  (So proud of Team Lewis!)  Then we had our English quiz & Reading test.  Our class went to lunch, while Tanner & Ms. Lewis got to go out to lunch with Chief Kennedy & Mrs. Hudson!  Tanner was our October Hudson Hero & won the raffle for lunch.  Tanner chose to go to Bob's Diner in Carnegie!  Lunch was delicious!  Owner, Bob Marshall, treated Tanner like a princess!  She got a Bob's mug for hot chocolate & a Bob's pen.  Our waitress gave her a Sarris chocolate bar!  Talk about royal treatment!  The afternoon started with DEAR time.  We had a lot of students level up on Rocket Math today, too!  So awesome!  We began Unit 6 in Math -- Dividing by 1-divisor.  Mastering the basic multiplication facts is extremely important!  Please keep practicing them!  

The only homework this weekend is to read for AR!  Many students in 202 are well on their way to meeting their 10 point goal!  

Report cards come home MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17th!  Be sure to review your child's report card & read the comment sheet.  Please sign and return the comment sheet and the envelope.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me promptly!  Together we can!  

Thanks!  Have a wonderful weekend!

Tonight, the PTA is hosting a Shop 'til You Drop night in the gym from 6-9!  There will be over 30 vendors there selling amazing things!  (Including Ms. Lewis selling her mesh wreaths!)  Hope you can stop by & support our PTA as they raise money to make our playground even better!

Today was exciting because we started class dojo, an interactive online class point system.  You can earn points for participating, being on task, and other good things.  You can lose points for bullying, not being prepared, arguing, and making other poor choices.  There is a parent log in option; Ms. Lewis will be sending home information soon about how to log in! (The printer wasn't working today)

Dear Families of 202, 

Hello!  We are struggling with double digit multiplication.  We are not consistently doing the problems correctly.  Please, please, please be sure you are working on this as well as basic multiplication facts.  We are doing Rocket Math in school, as well as Reflex Math, and Sumdog, which are all great help, but the facts really need practiced at home.  Reflex Math & Sumdog can be used at home.  Flash cards are an awesome idea, and can be used for 10-15 minutes a day.  I sent home a packet of flash cards, and the Dollar Tree also has them for $1.  There are also free apps available to practice the facts.  Mastery of the facts will help immensely with all future math skills.  

Today marked the end of the first nine weeks.  I am not sure where the time has gone!  Students may begin taking AR tests for the second nine weeks beginning tomorrow, Friday, November 7th.  They need 10 points for the second nine weeks!  I am happy to say 86% of our class earned all of their AR points!  Way to go!  Keep up the EXCELLENT work!!!  

Report cards will be sent home on November 17th.  Please keep an eye out for them.  If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.  There will be a comment sheet, in addition to the report card.  Please sign and return the comment sheet with the envelope.  

Thank you for all you do!  

Ms. Lewis
