Dear Parents/Guardians,

Wow! It is SEP week already. The kids have learned so much. Now you get to visit with me to find out how they have been doing. I look forward to meeting with you this week.

This week's homework will be the regular language arts packet. Please sign it  on the back for each day.  A new math unit starts today. The students will be learning about dividing one-digit numbers. Math homework will come home on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (Lessons 1, 2, and 3)

Next week I need your help with some donated magazines and newspaper clippings. Our core goes over people to admire and people to not admire. Please send any used magazines you have that we can cut the pictures out of before November 25.

Thank you for the gallon ziplock baggies. We are in need of donations of pencils and AA batteries still.

Thanks for your continued support,
Melissa Nielsen

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Happy Veteran's Day! Thank those you know who served for our country. We are truly blessed to live in America.

SEP Conferences are next week. Please see the form I sent home and return it by Wednesday, November 13th with your preferred times. We will review the goals that we set with you and your child in August.

This week there will be spelling, language arts, and math homework. You should expect math pages Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Thursday will be a review for the test on Friday. If you would like to help your child study extra, find a website on multiplying 2-digit numbers.

Donations we could use for our class at this time are pencils, gallon ziplock baggies and AA batteries for our listening center.

Thanks for your ongoing support!

Mrs. Nielsen

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Last week was fun with Halloween. I loved to see the kids have a good time at the parade and during our grade level store.

This week math homework will be expected to come home on Tuesday and Wednesday. The Language Arts packet will be the regular one this week. Thanks to those who work hard and return their homework each week.

The students are getting better at times tables. It's exciting to see more remembering their facts. We won the grade level bell 2 weeks ago. We might get it this week, too.
