Hi Everyone,

We had a great day getting to know each other and starting to work on classroom procedure today! I hope everyone had a chance to go through the parent communication folder that came home with your student today. Inside it was a few papers that you can keep at home and a few that you need to review, sign and send back. The school needs you to review, sign and return the Emergency Forms ASAP. I am looking forward to our first full day tomorrow!

School specials will begin tomorrow in the afternoon and we have gym on Wednesday afternoons. Make sure your students bring the shoes they need for gym. We will also begin using Class Dojo tomorrow which will allow for feedback on student work and classroom behavior throughout the day. Our class will be switching with the other 5th grade classroom starting next week, for social studies. Mrs. A will also be using Classroom Dojo to keep track of our class during their time with her. We would love you to connect with our room and your student to receive all of our classroom feedback. The application and website are free online or on your smart phone. The app is easy, free and quick to download so grab it and I will be sending out a link to connect with the room. We will also be helping parents connect with the class at open house!

Start checking the planner that will be coming home with your student each day for their homework. Each student will be recording their homework and any important reminders daily. On Thursday there is a safety meeting for all of the class safeties and any students that wish to join the safety program. This meeting will be with Mrs. Doyle.

I hope everyone is having a great week!
