Conference night begins tonight at 4:00. I will also be holding conferences on Tuesday, Feb. 9th. A hard copy of the conference schedule was sent home last week. Please be sure to attend your child's conference so that we can celebrate all of the wonderful growth that he/she has made.
The Truman Glow Dance is Friday, February 5 from 6-8p.m. Information was sent home Friday regarding this event. Pizza, pop, water, dessert for $2 will be available. Please bring a canned food or nonperishable food item for admission. Students must be accompanied by an adult. Desserts are needed and if you are able to bring 2 dozen individually wrapped desserts, they can be dropped off at school on Friday.
Our room is doing a lot of sniffling, coughing, and sneezing! We continue to Lysol our desks and wash our hands. Please help your child stay healthy but getting them to bed at a decent time and having them wear warm clothes to school. (especially for recess)

Music Program and Conferences
The 4th and 5th graders will have their music program on January 21st at 6:30 at Taft. Please have your child wear nice clothing.
You may begin to sign up for your child's conferences by going to the Truman Website. A portion of this conference will be student led. There are a limited number of evening hours so please sign up soon if you need an evening time. Your child will need to attend this conference with you.
We continue to work on long division in math. Most have mastered this concept. I have contacted the families of the kids that need more practice so that we can work together to have your child learn this skill.
We will begin the district math testing today and I will have those results at conferences.
Most children still need to learn their multiplication facts fluently. PLEASE have your child practicing at home.
We are finishing up our Historical Fiction unit which relates to our Social Studies Great Depression unit. The children have been working on a Great Depression power point and are very interested in the time period. We will begin our science unit of rocks and minerals as soon as we finish up the Great Depression.
Our class won the winter reading challenge. Each child was able to pick a book from our current book order as a prize. Just a reminder that the book orders are due on Friday, Jan. 8th.
The week of Jan. 19th we will be doing the state FAST testing. This is the reading test. Please make sure that your child is at school on time and well rested.

Homework and Conferences
Next week the children will NOT be bringing home their green math homework book. Rather I am sending home a subtraction sheet that I would like them to do and return to school by Friday. I am seeing that the students are needing a lot more practice with subtraction so we are going to focus on that next week.
Conferences will begin in our class on Thursday, Oct. 22nd. Right now I have about half of you signed up to meet with me. Please take a minute to go to the Truman website to sign up for a time. This is a midterm conference so we will be discussing your child's progress towards the report card expectations and behavior. Your child will also be sharing their accomplishments with you.
In reading we are working on reading to remember and summarizing. Kids are working to master the UNRAAVEL strategy with text. Our fluency goal is 116 correct words per minute. As of today only half of the class has met that goal. Please have your child practice their Comprehension Tidbits several times until they have reached that 116 CWPM goal.
In math we are working on multiplication facts and learning how to multiply. Kids are working through their "karate" belts in hopes of getting their black belt.
In science we are continuing on with the Life Systems unit. Our butterfly larvae should arrive this week and we will watch as these change into butterflies. We then move onto the human body living system.
If your child is absent from school please contact me for work that they missed so I can get it ready and sent home.
Upcoming Events:
Conferences - 10/22 and 10/27
America Reads - 10/23
Fall Party - 10/30 (we do not need any parent helpers for this event)
If you would like to donate sugar free gum to the class we would appreciate it! The kids earn gum for a variety of rewards.
