Review
of our week:
In
math we started on Chapter 2, Subtraction Concepts. I had each child fix the
problems, which he or she missed in Chapter 1 and sent the test home today. I was very happy with the scores from the math
test.
SEP’s:
I am
sending home a paper on Tuesday that tells you when your SEP is. I need you to sign it and mark if you can make
your appointment or not. If you can’t
make it please let me know as soon as possible, so I can reschedule it. We coordinated with other teachers, so please
try to make your appointment. Remember
school gets out everyday at 2:30, even on Wednesday.
Office
Things:
I
just wanted to remind you or make you aware if you didn’t know already about a
few things. Whenever you come to the
school to read or anything else you need to check in at the office and get a
visitors pass. The other thing is if
your child is gone, we need you to call the office and excuse them. Mrs. Griffith has to call the parents of
every child who is absent and see why they are not at school. If they are going to be gone it is good to
let me know, but will you please let Mrs. Griffith know also. I don’t always have time to tell her.
Reading
Parents:
I
only have 3 moms signed up to come in and read.
If you can or a grandparent would like to come in and read, we would
love to have you. Let me know if you are
able to.
Sight
Words:
I
have gone through the sight word lists I have and placed your child on a list
they need to work on. They may only have
1 or 2 they need to work on. When they
have practiced and can read them with mastery, which is being able to read each
word in a second (see it, say it) please sign the paper I have attached and
return it. I will have them pass the
list off and get the new list. We will
also be working on stories in a little while.
Homework:
I
have some really fun prizes for those students who reach the reading goal. The reading goal is at least 5 nights every
week. Even if every apple is not filled
in please have your child turn in what they have read (when it is due). Please
make sure you sign your child’s reading record.
It is very important your child is doing their reading homework.
Family
Fun Day:
I
attached a copy of the paper on Family Fun Day to my email last week. Usually they will be on Fridays, but if that
does not work let me know and we can set up another day. I have dates listed in
the upcoming events. If there is one of
those dates you would like, let me know.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Reading
Parents:
We
will start reading this next week. When
you come in I will have you listen to a child read 1-2 stories out of their
Readers and then practice their sight words.
Soon, they will have books I am reading in Guided Reading Groups with
them. After awhile I will have you do
fluency readings with them.
