Review
of our week:
In
math we started on Subtraction Concepts.
If your child is having a hard time, it would be great to help them with
the packet I sent home last week. This
doesn’t have to be turned in, but it is great practice for your child. I sent home Chapter 1 tests. If your child wants to fix the ones they
missed, they turn it back in for 100%.
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
visitor’s pass. The other thing is if
your child is gone, we need you to call the office and excuse them. The school 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:
We started
reading this week. If you or a
grandparent would like to come in and read, we would love to have you. Let me know if you are able to. Also, if you can’t make it on your day, don’t
worry about. When you come in I will
have you listen to a child read 1-2 stories out of their Readers or practice
their sight words. Soon, I will have you
do fluency readings with them.
SEP’s:
I am
sending home a paper 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 every day at 2:30, even on Wednesday.
Sight
Words:
I
sent their sight word list home last week.
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. I already have a couple who have passed their first list off.
Homework:
I
have some fun prizes for those students who reach the reading goal. The reading goal is at least 20 minutes 5
nights a 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
have attached a copy of the paper on Family Fun Day to my email. 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. We had our first one today. It was a lot of fun. You should ask your child about Sugar
gliders.
