News and Notes:

Spelling
We took our first spelling assessment today and I will send it home on Monday so that you can see how it is assessed. This was just a practice one and we will not count this first one. The sentence must have all the words spelled correctly, begin with an uppercase letter and end with an ending mark.

Mileage Club
Our first, second, and third grade students were introduced to the Mileage Club last Friday. The Mileage Club is a fitness program that students may participate in during their lunch recess. It involves walking/jogging around our cemetery path and keeping track of the laps as they are completed. Every time a student finishes a card (21 laps/about 3 miles) they turn the card in to Mrs. Steinbacher and receive a plastic “footie”. The “footies” are designed to be placed on shoestrings or chains.
Special rewards are earned at these milestones:

Number of Cards turned in	Number of Miles completed	Reward Earned
5	15	Silver Footie
10	30	Gold Footie
15,20,25,30, etc.	# of cards x 3	Clear Footie
17	51	Footie and #50
25	75	Footie and #75
34	102	Footie and #100

Reading Log

There has been a little confusion as to whether you should write in books read on the Reading Log in the front sleeve of your child's red folder. You do not need to do anything right now. I will eventually be putting in a book for your child to practice fluency and then you can comment on how your child is doing.

I will be sending home a Reading Calendar at the start of September. On the calendar, you can mark any reading your child has done and return it at the end of each month.

Digital Citizenship

Please sign and return the digital agreement in your child's Friday folder ASAP.

Highlights Magazine
Please mark yes or no and sign and return the form so we can get free blocks for our classroom!

We've been talking all week about how we all WONDER about things. Scientists wonder all the time. We wrote down things we wonder about! We will take time this year to learn about things we WONDER. :-)
