Book Orders

Parent on-line ordering will be set up on Monday, Nov. 17, at the latest. I apologize for any inconvenience. The on-line user name is CannonClass and the password is welovereading. Again, I will set this up on Monday. Orders will be due Wednesday, Nov. 26.

Just a reminder that next week ends the first trimester. Students will be taking a trimester review test in both math and reading/language arts. We are not permitted to send these tests home for security reasons. I will be sharing the scores with you at conferences along with the new report cards. If you want to help your child review for the test, some ideas would be to work on place value, adding and subtracting large numbers, rounding numbers, review of adverbs, prepositions, and past tense verbs. Also, it is always helpful to ask your child to tell you about what they are reading.

Speaking of reading, I collected the Just Read sheets so that I can enter the grades for the trimester. New sheets will not be going home until December 1. I encouraged the students to continue reading so that they do not get out of the habit--even if they don't read a full 20 minutes every night. Again, we will continue Just Read after the Thanksgiving Break.

Have a great weekend.
