September 8, 2008

Word of the day: subterranean

Our class had its first "Immunity Challenge" today for spelling. Immunity Challenges in Grade Three work this way: all the students are given a pre-test on the week's spelling words on Monday morning. Any student who gets 100% on the Monday morning test is excused from the spelling homework, assignments and Friday test for the week. (They also get "Immunity Necklaces" to hang on the back of their chair if they get 100%. Whooeee!) Unfortunately, no one earned a perfect score on today's test, so everyone has spelling homework - due this Thursday. We'll look forward to seeing who our first spelling immunity winner of the year is...

Thanks to everyone who completed the student information sheet and returned it to the school. It would be nice to have them all in by the end of the week, if possible.
