**Attention Parents** We are still in need of a parent chaperon to attend the October 16th field trip to the Science Center.  Please contact Mrs. Mick if you are interested in going along.

Thank you for sending a drink with your child to school today.  The kids enjoyed celebrating the reaching of their class Dojo goal with a treat during morning class!!  Please encourage your child to keep working on earning those positive Dojos.  Remember you can monitor your child's progress on the Dojo system by signing up using the code you were given at the back-to-school conference!

Homework:

     Math:  P1-7  (Ask your student what compatible numbers are and how to compensate when adding
                mentally.)

     Science:  None

Next Week:

     This week we will be celebrating homecoming!  We will attend a pep rally on Monday morning to get us        excited for the week of festivities.  We will also enjoy a parade on Friday before the big game!  Each 
     day the students will be encouraged to participate in homecoming by dressing to the theme.  Here is a 
     schedule of the themes:
                                          Monday - backwards day
                                          Tuesday - favorite sport day
                                          Wednesday - pj day
                                          Thursday - dress up nice day
                                          Friday - bronco day
     We look forward to a fun week of activities!!

Math:  In math class next week, we will be finishing lessons on estimating sums and differences, rounding whole numbers and decimals and problem solving strategies.  Hopefully we will review and take our second quiz by the end of the week.

Science:  In science class we will be finishing the body systems in lesson 2 and quizzing by mid week.  We will do experiment #3 and begin talking about more body systems including the skeletal system, the muscular system and the nervous system!  

Have a great weekend!
