Thank you and more…

I just want to say “Thank You” for attending open house. I enjoyed meeting you and your family. We have a great group of kids- they really are enjoyable and are good workers. Yesterday one of our dads informed me that my email address is incorrect on the welcome letter I sent home at the beginning of the year. Here is the correct one: kearneb@dearbornschools.org My voicemail extension is 78921, however, a different teacher’s voice and name speaks to you. She was given my voicemail number as well and set it up before me. I have been unable to set it up with my voice so I did put in a helpdesk ticket so that it can be resolved. If they end up giving me a new extension I will let you know. Otherwise use the one above.

They will be taking their first (official) spelling test today. There will be one next Friday, even though it is a half day. You will see spelling homework come home everyday. This week there is a reading log on the back of the communication/behavior log. They are to fill it out on their own-you can verbally help if they need, but they have to do all the writing. We are going to practice in class today how to do that. I will be sending home book bags as well. They are required by the school to read at least five days. You can start them at 10 minutes a day and work up to 15 minutes by end of October and then work toward 20 minutes at some point. They have to read on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and then can choose which weekend day they want (Firday, or Saturday, or Sunday).

If you want to send in birthday treats there are 18 kids. I checked their attendance records and did not see any peanut or other food allergies. If your child does have one that is not noted please let the office and myself know about it.

Have a great weekend!

Mrs. Kearney
