Notes from Mrs. McCuistion
If your child does NOT have a spelling list attached to her/his homework packet, that means she/he made an “A” on Friday’s test and does NOT have ANY spelling this week! Your child’s progress report will come home this Thursday. Please sign and return the report on Friday. I will include an updated AR report with the progress report. If you have any concerns about your child’s progress at mid-term, you may me, message me on Remind, or message me on Class Dojo. Have a wonderful week!!
To determine if your child’s book is on AR and on her/his Lexile, go to AR Bookfinder’s ADVANCED SEARCH and click on Lexile Level. Then, type in the book title and author’s name. If the book is an AR match, the quiz number and Lexile Level will show up.

4. A few tips!
If you do not like how the fonts appeared when you opened this file for the first time I suggest downloading/installing the fonts below, closing out the file and then reopening the file. IF the fonts were installed correctly, it should look like the preview file.
Fonts used- Army Rust, KG Lego House, Pea da lovely,
If you teach just Math, Science, & SS- page 1 is for you!
If you teach just ELA- page 2 is for you!
If you teach all subjects- Page 1 & 3 may be your best bet and copy them back to back!
Before printing, go to save as  change file format to PDF  rename it  hit save. This will allow it to print correctly!
Another option is to upload this to your class website so all of the students will have access to this newsletter at home. It can also serve as a study guide for the week! Hope this helps!! 
