Fall Break

Next week will begin fall break.  Please make sure to have your child read during this two week break.  Students can lose their academic growth in as little as two weeks.  This is also a great time to work on the goals that we discussed at conferences.

This Wednesday is a full day of school.  This Thursday is Kindness Club.  The students will be dismissed from Kindness Club at 4:45pm.  If you would still like your child to participate in Kindness Club, please contact me or Mrs. Schaffer.  Please remember to have your child wear athletic shoes on Monday and Thursday for Kinetics.  Library books should be returned on Wednesday and are due back Thursday.

Galaxy Day

Thank you to all of you who attended conferences this past week!  I enjoyed discussing your child's progress with you. This Wednesday will be our second galaxy day.  Your child will be learning a lesson from his or her galaxy teacher that will center around controlling impulsivity.  Please make sure to have your child wear his or her galaxy shirt on this day. 

Your child will be taking his or her second math test this Tuesday.  Please look for the chapter review to come home on Monday and for the test results to come home on Wednesday.

This Wednesday is an early release day.  The students will be dismissed at 1:50pm.  Please remember to have your child wear his or her athletic shoes on Monday and Thursday.  Library books should be returned on Wednesday and are due back Thursday.

Conferences!

Conferences will occur on Wednesday and Thursday of this week unless you have scheduled a morning conference on Monday, Tuesday, or Friday.   If you require a different day and time, please let me know so that I can reschedule your conference.  For conferences, please have a literacy and mathematics goal in mind that you would like your child to work towards for the next several months.  In addition, please bring your child to the conference so that he or she can partake in setting goals.  Each conference will last approximately twenty minutes and will focus mostly on where your child is academically.  

This is the first week for spelling.  Your student will take his or her first spelling test on Friday of this week.  You will find the spelling words in your child's reading packet.  Please review these words daily to help your child prepare for his or her test.  On the spelling test page of the homework, your student can simply write each word twice.

This Wednesday is a full day of school.  Please remember to send athletic shoes with your student on both Monday and Thursday for Kinetics.  Library books should be returned on Wednesday but are not due back until Thursday.  

Snack

We are currently running low on snacks.  In your child's binder, you will find a calendar that will have your child's name listed for the day that he or she will need to bring in snack.  A few student's names are not listed and will be listed on the following month's snack calendar.  If you are unable to provide snack on your student's day, please let me know so that I can purchase snacks.  Thank you for your support!

I still have quite a few parents that have not signed up for a conference yet.  I will be sending an email this week to any family that still needs to sign up.  If you are having a difficult time accessing the website, please email or call me to let me know.  I can't wait to discuss all of the learning that your child has been doing this past month. 

This Wednesday is an early release day.  The students will be dismissed at 1:50pm.  Please remember to have your child wear athletic shoes on Monday and Thursday for Kinetics.  Library books should be returned on Wednesday and are due back Thursday.

This Thursday is the first day that the Kindness Club will meet.  If you signed your student up for Kindness Club, please remind him or her that he or she will be going to the library after school.  Kindness Club will dismiss at 4:45.
