August 27-31

Thank you so much for subscribing to my web page!  I will post a brief newsletter weekly so you can keep up on what is going on in our magnificent classroom!

We have spent the first week and a half of school getting to know each other, and going over classroom and school expectations and procedures. In addition, we are completing academic screening in Math and ELA to assist with our instructional goals for the year. The children are doing great! 

Students began their Red Reading Folders last week. The Folders will be due every Friday. Almost everyone returned their folder on time! I am so proud of our students! Please continue to have your child read for at least 20 minutes each night for at least 3 nights per week and record the minutes and sign the red reading folder. If the folder is not signed, the student will not receive credit for reading. 

We started math homework this week. I have set up the computer to allow your child to access ISE and Skills Sets on the "Think Central/Go Math" site found under student links. All students practiced using this program in class, so they should be able to show you how they do it at home. It is a good resource to use if your child is ever absent or needs extra help understanding the math concepts.

I will put the looking ahead dates on the bottom of this newsletter.

I am looking forward to seeing you at Back to School Night on Wednesday, August 29 at 7:30-8:10 p.m. in room 23.

We are going to have a wonderful year!

Early release days every Friday starting August 18.  Dismissal is at 1:05.
