This is a reminder to please turn in the family picture tomorrow and a reminder that gym shoes are needed on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Thanks.

Today your child is bringing home a note about spelling.  The note explains the spelling program and it also introduces you to the Spelling City Website.  Each week, I will put our hot and Dolch words for the week on Spelling City for your child to review at home.  I suggest that after your child uses it for the first time this week, please bookmark it for use for the year.

We have a district planned field trip for Monday, September 21 to the Smoke House.  Your child is bringing home two slips today for your signature.  One is permission to go on the trip and the other is permission to be in the Smoke House.  Chaperones that have been approved by the district are welcome.  Let me know if you are interested.

We will be working on writing our numbers 1-1000 and we will be making scrolls with paper towel tubes.  Please send in one for your child.  If you have more, please send in more for students who may not have one.  Thanks.

We have lunch at 12:30 p.m. each day, so please be sure that your child has breakfast and send in  a daily snack.  You may  send them in for the week on Monday and have your child keep them in the locker, or send one in daily.  Our classroom is a nut free zone, so please do not send snacks with nuts.

The family pictures are starting to come in.  Please have the picture in by this Wednesday.

We have gym on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so please have your child wear gym shoes on those days.

Today your child brought home a blue note about a family picture.  We will be studying communities and how families go to places in the community to find their basic needs.  Please send in a 4 x 6 family picture no later than September 16 for our bulletin board.  Thanks is advance!

In addition, your child brought home a gold note about the blog.  As stated on the note, please sign up for the classroom eNews and the blog will go right to your email address given!  Please return the bottom portion of the note so that I can see that  you are all set.

The PTA has many things planned.  Today your child brought home a couple notes from the PTA.  Next week will be the Scholastic Book Fair.  It will be open during open house too!

Please send in the supplies, emergency cards, and the  classroom rule sheet if they haven’t been sent in yet.

We had our first assembly today reminding students of expectations and each child was given a Lindbergh Zipper Pull to attach to backpack.  They are pretty neat!

Thanks for your support!

I’m looking forward to meeting you!  We will have a great year!

Mrs. Lorber

Some parents asked about things that you can do with your child over the summer. Today your child brought home a reading response log.  It has pasted inside the front cover some reading response ideas for fiction and non-fiction books.  Also,you may want to have your child join the public library summer reading activities.  In addition, please continue to have your child read Raz Kids.

Tomorrow, there will be some items in the report card envelope.  There will be a supply list for third grade, NWEA results, and there will be information and directions to login to MobyMax which is a web-based curriculum tailored to your child’s individual needs, and there is information about an online library with over 8000 books called MyOn.  I would encourage you to have your child use these resources this summer.

Today your child brought home test results from the social studies assessment, chapter 11 math, and the Science Test all taken last week.

We are looking forward to the ice cream party tomorrow.  Thanks in advance to all for the items you will send in.  You are welcome to join us around 10:30 a.m. in our classroom!

Tomorrow we will have class in the morning. Please send in a snack as usual.  The afternoon will be field day.  The PTA provides a lunch of cheese pizza, watermelon, chips, and popsicles.    Please have your child have sunscreen on and please send in a water bottle with a spill proof top.  We will use the class “lunch bin” for the water bottles, so they can be easily moved from station to station.  Our six stations begin at 12:35 and end at 2:30.

Thanks for volunteering to send in items for Wednesday.  The homeroom moms have a list on the May 28 blog.  Some items are still needed.
