This week's  spelling test will be a test on words previously learned. As I mentioned before, we do not just learn to spell the words for that week's test. The purpose of learning the words is to be able to use them not only for that week but in the future in our writing.

Thank you to the moms, dads,  and grandmas and grandpas who chaperoned our trip to the Museum of Science and Industry? A special thank-you to Andrew Delgado's grandpa who sent cupcakes for the first graders to enjoy after the trip. We all enjoyed viewing the trees.

We are starting to get quite chatty and sloppy about our work. Please speak to your child about the neccesity of following directions and doing the best work they can.  They are all quite capable and they know what the rules are and they are expected to follow them.

The fire drill that we had on yesterday was much better. Thank you for speaking to your child about the importance of these drills.

Tomorrow is BCA Day/Night at Hawkeye's. Please support the cause by either dining in or carrying out. There is a dress down day on Thursday for those who bring in their receipts.

Now that the weather is getting colder and the children will be wearing coats, hats and gloves, please make sure that these items are labeled as many of them are alike. The children don't know their own clothing and Mrs. Herrera and I can't always tell what belongs to whom.

Please join us if you can and pray with us as we ask God to continue to bless all who have served well and to grant eternal life to all who are no longer with us.  If you can't join us, please offer a prayer at home and if you know a veteran or have one in your own family say thank you. It means a lot.

Have a nice evening. Enjoy it, because according to weather forecasts this will be the best one of the week. Thankfully we aren't in the Dakotas, Minnesota, or upper Wisconsin.

Some suggestions for learning the spelling words: Write them,  play hangman, write the word leaving some letters out and have your child supply the missing letters, make letter cards and have them put the letter cards together to form the words, trace them with their fingers on sandpaper, or spray a table part with shaving cream and trace the words in the foam. (Just a thought)

Please spend some extra time on the Spelling words. Last week's words were quite challenging for many of the students, and this week's words I'm sure will present them with a challenge as well. There are many ways you can study the words without having to write them. I have given many ideas and I' m sure you can come up with even more on your own. Remember, the tests include not only the six words for the week but four from previous lessons.

                   Write an apology to Mr. Moy and Mrs. Herrera for the behavior during the fire drill today.



We had a firedrill this morning during gym time. The children were very noisy to the point where several of the children were screaming. This is unacceptable behavior. I take firedrills very seriously and the children should too. They know what the rules are and they can tell you what  they are. We have also discussed why these rules are important. It doesn't matter whether the drill happens when they are in the classroom with me or in another room. The rules are the same. Please discuss these rules with your child and impress on them the importance of following them.

Tomorrow is Red Ribbon Day. Dress down in red or wear school uniform.
