*Science News: A new table talk will be coming home in homework folders this week. Please use this to prepare for a weather assessment on November 11.

*ELA News: New Storyworks Jr. Magazines went home on Friday. The September issue can now be kept at home or disposed of. Please remember that the October issue now needs to be kept in their homework folders at all times, as they may be used to reinforce ELA skills in the classroom.

*Math News: Please continue to practice subtraction math facts at home. Spending five minutes nightly, at the bus stop, or in car rider line with flash cards helps a lot.
