Review of our week:

         We have been doing some assessing this week to see where your child is in reading. In the afternoon, we interview our leader and each child then writes something about the leader and draws a picture.  When we finish each student will have a book they have made with a page about each person in our class.  I am very excited to see how much each child has improved in their writing abilities.  In math we have been working on adding 0 and adding digits in any order and ways to make 9 & 10. 

Next Week’s Leaders:

         September 3 – No School (Labor Day)

         September 4 – Jeanivieve

         September 5- Jonah

         September 6- Johnathan

         September 7 – Maylie (Celebrate Maylie’s Birthday also)

        

*When your child is the leader please send a healthy snack for the class.  If you can’t provide a snack please let me know, so I can get something.

Homework:

         Your child should be reading every night. At this point their reading time can be a combination of them reading and you reading to them.  I know some of you are reading the full 20 to your child and that is ok.    I hope we will be starting our Take Home Library soon.  Your child will be getting a book they can read on their own.  Raz is also a great resource to be using.

Reading Records:

         I have included the reading record for September. The reading record is due by the date at the bottom.  Please, take the time to help your child with their reading.  Thanks

Book Order:

         I am sending home the September book orders.  There are some really great books to look at.  If you would like to order books, your order is due on Thursday, September 6.  You can order online if you go to https://orders.scholastic.com/L9GWX

Review of our week:

         We have our first full week behind us. We are still working on learning our procedures and getting into a routine.  We are really working on listening and following instructions.  I am so excited about our class and the upcoming year.  I have really enjoyed getting to know your child.  There are a few things I wanted to remind you about as well as some things coming up.

Raz Kids:

         If you have not checked out the website, please do so.  I sent home a log in paper with the information on it.

Preps:

         We have P.E. on Fridays.  Please send your child with appropriate clothes and shoes.  We also have Library on Tuesdays. Your child needs to bring their books back in order to get new books.  I have asked them to keep their books in their backpacks.  We will check out books this week.

Forms Online:

         If you have not done this, please do so ASAP.  If you still have questions, email or call Mrs. Griffith in the office.

Family Fun Day:

         I have included dates for the first couple of Family Fun Days.  If you are interested in doing one and one of these dates works for you, just let me know. If you have any questions, please let me know.

FYI:

         * If your child has not turned in any of the papers I sent               home please do so ASAP.

         * Thank you to those of you who donated things off of my             wish list.

         * Remember school starts at 8:50 please have your child                 here before that.

* Remember to keep saving those Box Tops. Have everybody you know save them for your child.
