Third grade needs a parent to grade Sunshine Math papers weekly. If you have extra time and would like to volunteer, please call or email me. 

The printing of report cards has been delayed. Report cards should go home sometime this week.

Due to the short week and number of activities planned, we will not be completing a reading selection this week. This means that there will be no spelling homework, spelling test, or vocabulary test this week. 

Chaffee Trail will be having its annual Fall Carnival Friday, November 6th. Please review the letter coming home from our homeroom mom, Mrs. Brown and help support this event in any way you can.

Study Island is a wonderful tool to help your child review skills and prepare for the FCAT.  Last year's FCAT success was partly due to this software.  We will be spending some time at school working on Study Island. Please allow your child to access Study Island as frequently as possible for much needed practice at home too.  It's free to use from any computer with Internet access.  Have your child sign on and complete the assigned activities. Students have login information in their planners. Progress will be monitored on our blue ribbon charts in the classroom. www.studyisland.com

We have finished Theme 1 of our reading series. This week will be a review of skills and strategies from the past few weeks. Therefore, there will be no study guide or spelling words for the week of October 5th.

Students will be bringing home order forms and directions for online ordering for Scholastic Book Clubs today. Oders are due online by October 23, 2009. This is a great way to get your child excited about reading!

*The Early Act Club is sponsoring a recycling project here at school. A bright green and yellow recycling bin has been placed in our school parking lot. Please bring paper products to be placed in the bin. The bin will be emptied once a week,  and we will get monthly payments based on the weight of the paper in the bin, so especially bring in your magazines and catalogs!

*We need a volunteer to be our homeroom parent. If you are interested please email me: tuttlek1@duvalschools.org We especially need someone to organize our booth for the fall carnival!

 

*Your child has brought home a packet explaining PTA's latest Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough funraiser. Please participate to help raise money for PTA!

For every 25 packets returned and filled out, we receive $200.00 worth of die-cuts. 

*Folders containing 25-Book requirements will be sent home Tuesday, September 1st.  Please keep them in a safe place at home for your child to use.
