Thursday Homework

Word Sort Homework: Follow Thursday instructions for a speed sort and a writing sort.  This does not need to be turned in tomorrow.

Writing Homework: YOU have writing homework tonight! :o)  Everyone has a pink piece of paper in their homework folders that expalins the directions.  Basically, just have a conversation with your child about how they are writing their personal narratives (not what they are writing about!)  I've given you some prompts on the pink piece of paper that will help you. 

Have a great night!

From PTO

Hello CES Parents!



Please see the attached PTO Meeting Reminder for our FIRST 2010-2011 PTO meeting! Please come join us for a Newcomer’s lunch at 12:00 (all are welcome) and the meeting will follow at 1:00 in the CES Library. If you have younger ones, they are welcome to come with you. This is a very casual setting…if you can’t come for the entire meeting, just come for as long or as little as you can. Our guest speaker this month is our Boosterthon representative, Patrick Smalley!

We have also attached the minutes from last May’s meeting, as we will approve these in this first meeting.

Also, there is still time to turn in your PTO packet information. We are extending the deadline to September 14th to get your information in the directory...don't miss it!

We look forward to seeing everyone and to serving you, our CES staff and our children!

Thanks so much!

Kay Gaskill

CES PTO President

Rainy Day!!

I can't believe how much rain came down today!  Hopefully it's going to bring some cooler weather with it.  Wishful thinking :0)

We are back on track with our spelling homework, so please make sure that Wednesday night is completed tonight.  We did this sort in class today, so it should be pretty easy!

We also have math homework tonight.  Eventually I'm going to stop reminding you about this and let start letting them learning the responsibility ... but after the day we had I'm having a hard time remembering anything!  I can only imagine how they are feeling today! :0)

Have a good night!

Spelling Homework!

We are starting our Words Their Way groups today!  Couple things that you need to know.


 #1) Their envelopes are not ready yet because our laminator is still not working.  So I am sending the words home in baggies with a copy of the directions that will usually be attached to the outside of their envelopes.  These need to travel to and from school everyday until I can start sending home their envelopes.

#2) Since we have a short week, I have told the kids to complete Monday's assignment this week.  We did a word sort and a writing sort in class, and this is the exact same thing they need to do at home tonight.  So they should bring their completed writing sort tomorrow on a piece of paper.  Tomorrow we are going to do Wednesday's sort.  (In other words ~ we are skipping Tuesday this week!)

Please let me know if you have any questions!
