This week was the first week with their behavior/reading logs sent home. Thank you parents for taking the time to initial/sign the log daily.  This lets me know you have checked how their day went. If you have questions about the “log” I have put directions at the bottom of it, if you need more information just email me and I’ll be glad to answer any questions. Book Bags will start coming home next week and students are expected to read 5 nights for 15-20 minutes.  They’ve been doing great during daily 5 read to self. They sustained 21 minutes of quiet focused reading!  We are now working on our work on writing stamina. They did 17 minutes today, much better than the 5 minutes yesterday:) I was quite impressed.  Homework should be returned daily, we had good day today, almost 100% returned!  Thank you for partnering with me in your child’s education. I value your support.

If you have not returned the emergency card as of yet,  please do so ASAP.

Students have a 120 chart on the back of their folder, they can use this to practice counting aloud, forward and backward by 1s,  counting forward by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s, identifying numbers, adding numbers together, and for use with homework if needed.

Have a Great Evening,

Mrs. Kearney

Hello, I just want to say “thanks” for coming to Open House last night.  It was really nice meeting/seeing you, some of you for the first time, and speaking with you.  I’ve been enjoying my time with your child and am looking forward to this school year. This week was our first spelling test.  I wanted to let you know that every week their spelling homework will be the same format.  I want to clarify Tuesday’s Triangle Words spelling homework for you. The words that are sent home on Monday (write 3 times each) are to be saved to use for Tuesday’s homework.  Many students used random words on that homework sheet.  I did give them directions of what to do, but at 6 years old, it can be confusing. Spelling Words are sent home on Monday’s. I will do my best to post them on my blog under the “spelling” heading no later than Sunday.

If you have not turned in your Dearborn Public Schools Emergency Contact Card please do so.

We have scheduled our first field trip for Thursday October 20th to Upland Hills Farm. If you would like to chaperone please make sure you have had your background check at least 2 weeks prior to the trip.

Have a Great Weekend!

On Wednesday, June 15 at 9:00 am our class will be performing 3 plays.  Parents are welcome to come to our room and watch.  We will have a sweet treat too!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We would like to invite you to take our on-line Leader In Me Survey  to collect some data for our Leader In Me grant.  The link for you is provided below.  We are highly encouraging all parents to take part in this survey.  It is our hope that we have at least 250 parents take this survey and IF we do the school will be holding an organized dance party on Thursday, May 26 from 2:30-3:00.  Mr. D will be our  very own DJ.  So, please help our school reach the goal of 250 parents participating and provide our school with a little dancing fun!!!

Check your child’s folder for their ABC Countdown to the end of the year! There is a description of what to do for each day of the week.

Field Trip is tomorrow.  An informative note is in their folder about it.

We completed our NWEA testing last week and I just want to say what a great job overall the students did on it.  Many students made their goal. I will send home a progress sheet for you later this week. I’m very proud of every student!  Thank you parents for all your support in making sure they do their homework daily and encouraging them to do their best.
