Spelling Bee

That’s R-I-G-H-T!!! Your child is now old enough to participate in the Southminster School-Wide Spelling Bee! :)

We will have three classroom spelling bees for our home room on the following dates: this Friday (10/20), Friday (11/3), and Thursday (11/9). Three winners will be awarded points at each of these bees. Upon completion of all three classroom bees, we will total our winning students’ points and send the top scorers on to our school-wide bee to compete with all of the top 4th and 5th graders from our school.

This usually excites about half the class and leaves the other half trembling in their boots. So...no matter who you are, here’s how we roll when it comes to Southminster Spelling Bees. We realize that this is not everybody’s strong suit, but we do expect everybody to participate. For now, there is nothing you need to do to prepare. Just take deep breaths and do your best. 

I will talk to the kids about this tomorrow and they will do great!

Happy Monday to all!

Mrs. C.

October Scholastic Book Orders due October 9th

Order Due Date -  10/09/17

Dear Families,

I want your child to be a successful reader—and for that, I need your help.

When children choose their own books to read for pleasure, they enjoy reading more and spend more time doing it. The more your child reads, the better they will do in school and in life.

Don't forget to check the recommended list here or on the Scholastic web site to see books I have added to our outside reading approved list!

Plus you will be helping our class when you order: Scholastic matches each order you place with FREE BOOKS for our classroom to share!

You can place your orders online at scholastic.com/bookclubs using our class activation code: 

A hard copy will be coming home today as well. Thank you for helping your child become a successful reader.
