Thank you:  I appreciate you taking the time to watch my Back to School video.  Please contact me if you have any questions. 

Conference Sign-up: I will be doing conferences in the morning, afternoon, and evening of Oct. 12th, 13th, and 14th. Please go to this link to sign up for a time that fits your schedule. If none of the times work for you please email me and I will work with your schedule to find a time that is convenient.

Water Bottles:  Thank you for sending a water bottle with your child each day.  We do not have drinking fountains anymore; only bottle fillers.   If your child does not have a water bottle they do not have anything to drink throughout the day.   Thank you!

Word Lists:  This week we will begin sending home the weekly word list.  This list is made of words that follow a word rule.  Our intention with this list is to give you words to help increase your child’s vocabulary.  Please use this list to practice reading words, talk about the word’s meaning, and look for common patterns in the way the words are spelled.  Please do not feel your child should be able to spell all the words on this list.

Ordering Lunch:  Please remember you can preorder your child’s lunch or additional milk for the week.  If your child is going to be late to school, please preorder the lunch in the AM before 9:30 or they may not have lunch when it's delivered to our classroom.  In addition, if your child is supposed to be picking up breakfast in the morning, please make sure they know this so they are taking care of this when they arrive in the morning. Thank you!

  

Math Games:  This week we will be sending home two math games: Number Line Squeeze and Number Grid Game.  Students will bring home the directions and materials to keep at home.  Please continue your nightly reading but if possible take 5 - 10 minutes twice this week to play the games.    

   

NWEA:  We have taken our reading NWEA assessment this past week and will be taking the math portion this coming week. Please continue to have your child get plenty of rest each night and eat a healthy breakfast.  Thank you.
