school dance

Our LW school dance is next Friday, Oct 22. The fifth graders are responsible for providing items to sell at the bake sale. We need baked goods, snacks, drinks, and raffle items. All proceeds go toward end of the year activities. Please see Grace McManus if you can help out that night. She will be putting together a sign up sheet. Thanks, Mrs. Kennedy

Study Island

I have posted the first assignment of the year on Study Island. Please have your child go to www.studyisland.com and log in under user name (last name, first initial, then lw) for example: smithjlw


the password is the first and last initial with a 1

example: js1



They can change the password but make sure you write it down. I do not get an update of who changes passwords. Mrs. Fritz is the only one who can get you that information if you loose it. (Some children have already changed passwords)

Topsfield Fair tomorrow!

The weather looks okay (60ish and windy), but I think the ground will be muddy or wet. You may want to send boots instead of sneakers.They should also wear play clothes. The children can bring a lunch or $$ to pay for food. If they get school lunch we can pack it up for them. Please remind them to stay with the chaperone they were assigned to at all times.I will be giving them all an assignment to do at the fair. We will not be playing games or going on rides. Any money you send with them will be spent on food or toys. (Please talk to them about how much money is for food and how much is for toys).I did not assign any homework for Thurs. night, but you could have them go on www.spellingcity.com Directions to our word list can be found on my previous post. Thanks, Mrs. Kennedy

Spelling City

I have posted a list of words for my 4/5th graders to practice on http://www.spellingcity.com/ . These are some of the words I noticed were misspelled in our homework journals and other assignments over the last week. The site gives them tests and games to play. It seems like a fun way to practice spelling. Please encourage them to go on it. To get to my list you need to go to find a list, then search by:

• user name is lynnwoods (one word)

or if you have trouble:

• teacher is christine kennedy
