Week of September 17th

Hello Parents!

Thank you for visiting our classroom blog!  This will be a great resource for you so you can hear about all of the things that we're learning in our room.  I typically update the blog every 2-3 weeks and I will always send out an email (typically on Friday) to let you know it's been updated with new curriculum.  As you look around, you'll notice there is a calendar for the year.  I've noted half days and breaks on the calendar and will also be noting upcoming tests and quizzes.  There is an area where I will list the homework just in case your child has forgotten to circle their homework that day.  You will also have access to the Math homework (home links) just in case your child accidentally misplaces it and needs another copy.

Homework has been going quite smoothly.  The kiddos are doing an amazing job managing their materials and bringing back their homework the next day.  Thanks so much for your help with this!  Your hard work shows!  I'll continue assigning homework Monday through Thursday and will try to reserve Friday for time to catch up on things.

Reading:  Please try to remind your child to read each night.  It really helps build those reading skills. In the month of September, we do not have a formal reading log but I will begin to assign those in October so we can keep track of our minutes.

NWEA:  We were experiencing some connectivity problems with the NWEA today so we'll resume testing next week.  I'll plan on finishing our Reading portion on Monday and we'll be doing Math on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Next Friday is our first half day.  Dismissal is at 11:40.

If you were unable to make Curriculum Night last night, I have placed the packet in your child's Friday folder.  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
