I am so excited to start off the new year! What a great first day we had! The children seemed very energetic & ready to accept the many challenges ahead. We are off to a great start getting organized & reviewing concepts learned over the years.
Please look for your child's take home folder (purple folder) each day. Notice the assignment sheet that comes inside that will give you all information including homework for the week & school happenings.
The only homework this first week is "What's My Bag" due by Friday.
Homework will always come home stapled to this assignment sheet on Monday & need to be returned by Friday. Homework may also be turned in "before" Friday. In addition to thier weekly homework packet, Math homework will come home on Monday's & Wednesday's. This homework needs to be turned in the very next day as we are practicing these concepts daily.
Beginning the second day of school, the students will be bringing a "take home book" home to be read "aloud" to you at home. This should be read each night & the reading log signed off. Please keep in mind that this book should not be difficult. Its purpose is to increase fluency. The media center books that they check out will be geared more toward their appropriate book level.
In the beginning, please help your child develop good organizational habits & an effective way to organize their nightly school routine. This is so crucial & will pave the way for responsibility, success & self-confidence within themselves which we are striving to accomplish.
Working together as this team, I know it will be a successful year!
