Nevada Day Week
Homework this week will be due on Thursday.  The spelling test will be given Thursday afternoon.

Box Tops
Don't forget to send in your box tops with the form that goes home in Friday Folders.  Our class has been in first place and we just recently went to second place.  We want that popcorn party! :)

Using the Hundred's Chart
I found a fantastic way to practice addition and subtraction using a hundreds chart at home.  Use the link below for an explanation of a way to practice this skill that will help your children become more comfortable using the chart and more familiar with and aware of the patterns it holds. 

I posted a hundreds chart on here a couple weeks ago that you can print for extra practice too :)

Adjective Game

We have been talking a lot about adjectives (describing words) in class.  Here is the link to a fun adjective game that seemed extra appropriate for this time of year with it's creepy spiders. :)
