A note from Miss Jensen

Thank you for visiting our classroom website. This is where you will find weekly classroom updates, game links, spelling lists, and more! Comments are accepted and encouraged (any post under "anonymous" without signing a name will be deleted from the site.)

WKCE testing starts tomorrow. Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep and has breakfast in the morning. We will have three days of reading this week and three days of math next week. Please try your hardest to be here every day!  

We are also voting for president tomorrow! Our ballots will be taken to the Kids Voting USA headquarters for tallying. The results usually are published at some point soon after--will give you further information when I/we know more about that.

Picture retake day is Wednesday November 7^th. 

Thursday is a half-day. Students will be leaving at noon.

I will not be sending home new book order forms this month because we will be having a book fair here at Riverside during Parent-Teacher Conferences. Remember: you can always use our classroom code (L6HD6) online at scholastic.com to earn points towards free books for our classroom!

Everyone set a new reading goal for November. (Reading goals were written on the hard copy of this note and sent home for you to see.)Thank you as always for your support with reading outside of school. Remember: reading is reading. Getting ‘lost’ in a book isn’t the only way to read. We read all the time, every day, even when we don’t realize it! Have you ever thought of turning on the Closed Captioning on your TV?  Cereal boxes, restaurant menus, street signs, directions to a game! Reading is all around us! 

Last but not least: Parent-Teacher Conferences start next week! I can’t wait to see all of your smiling faces as you try to squeeze into your child’s desk!! *Just kidding! Regular sized chairs will be available =]
