Week of September 22nd

We are entering the final week of Unit 1 in reading.  Our schedule will be the same this week as it's been the past 4 weeks as far as reading the weekly story on Wednesday and taking the weekly test on Thursday.  However, next week our schedule will change as we will be preparing for our Unit 1 Reading Skills Test.  

This Friday is Pajama/Stuffed Animal Day at CCIS.  Students can wear pajamas and bring in a stuffed animal if they would like.  If the stuffed animal becomes a distraction, they will be asked to put it in their locker for the remainder of the day.  

We have started Topic 3 in math.  Topic 3 involves Place Value.  Students still should spend some time practicing their multiplication facts as we are continuing to take our daily multiplication tests.  

Here is this week's Spelling Review List 1.

Week of September 15th

Just a reminder, pictures are this Friday.  Many students have turned in their picture forms already.  If you would like for your child to receive school pictures, please turn in the picture form on or before Friday.  All students will get their picture taken for the yearbook regardless if they are purchasing pictures or not.

Friday is also Tech Day.  Students are responsible for any tech device they bring in.

We will be taking our Topic 2 Math Test on Wednesday of these week.  We will be reviewing on Tuesday.  I will have math tests graded on Wednesday and then corrections will be due Thursday morning.

There is a PSO meeting tomorrow night, September 16th, at 6:30PM in the CCIS Cafeteria.  All parents that are able to attend are encouraged to go.

Any student wishing to turn in a T-Shirt design for the CCIS T-Shirt competition must turn their design in by next Monday, September 22nd.  Also, if you have not turned in the Art permission slip, please do so by Thursday of this week.

Cause/Effect

Week of September 8th

Math test corrections are due tomorrow (Monday).  If any students want to receive additional points on their test they needed to correct their mistakes, have a parent sign the test, and then they will need to turn it in.  Test corrections are not mandatory, however I would strongly advise students taking advantage of this opportunity.

Wednesday of this week will be an 11:35AM early dismissal.  Please discuss with your child how he/she will be getting home on Wednesday if it is different than what they are used to doing after school.  We will also be taking our reading MAP test on Wednesday.  This will be our final MAP test of the Fall season.  

I sent picture forms home on Friday.  Pictures are not until Friday, September 19th.  Forms can be returned any time and I will hold on to them until picture day.  

We will be starting Topic 2 this week in Math.  I have provided students their IXL log-in information.  We will use this website to practice math skills at school, but this is also something they can be doing on their own.  Students should also to continue to practice their multiplication facts.  

The first student council meeting is Wednesday, September 10th at 7:30AM.

Week of September 2nd

This week we start MAP (Measure of Academic Progress) testing.  Our first test will be our Math portion, and we will be taking that Tuesday afternoon.  We will be taking our Reading portion next week.  The students will also take these two tests in both the winter and the spring to track their progress throughout the school year.  

Students will be receiving their spelling lists Tuesday.  With it being a short week, please be sure to remind your child to study his/her list of words.  We will still read our weekly story on Wednesday of this week and take the reading test on Thursday. 

We will be having our first math test on Friday.  The day before the math test we always take time to review all material that was covered in the topic.  Students will also have a practice test that they can review problems from in order to prepare them for the test.  We have started our daily multiplication quizzes.  Some students are doing a great job while other students need a lot of practice with their multiplication facts.

This Friday night is the first home football game.  Hopefully some of the students will be able to make it out to the game to cheer on our high school football team.  On Friday of this week, the students will be read an announcement on what type of behavior is expected when attending a football game at the high school.
