Let me know which date/weekend will work for you?

Your child’ school day will begin at 9:40 on Wednesday.

Please check your child’s parent connect, so you can see which assignments are missing. Please check your child’s folder and planner every night.

Students have until Friday to complete Zearn lesson 19, we have a test coming up and it is noticeable which students are not keeping pace with the module. Keeping up with the lessons, helps your child understand what we are doing in class.

Library day tomorrow, help your child remember to bring his/her book to school.

Half-day on Friday, 11:45 pick-up.

Tomorrow is library check-out, so remember to pack your books, so you can renew or check out a new book.

A permission slip about Fuzzy our class pet is coming home tomorrow. You have to read over it and sign it one way or another. 🙂

Your child should be showing you his/her planner every night, checking off items as they are finished, and you initialing the planner every night.

Students have math, reading, and writing homework tonight. Letters are due Thursday, reading logs are due next Monday, and math is due tomorrow.

In reading, we are working on 3 strategies: check for understanding, cross checking, and back up and reread. In writing, we’ve been doing quickwrites where the students share their opinion on something. In science, we’ve been building hills and talking about energy. In Social Studies, we are working with maps, finding physical characteristics in the United States, and moving on to human characteristics. In math, we working with large numbers, solving multi-step word problems, adding, and using tape diagrams.

Have a talk with your child about the proper use of a bathroom. I will be talking to the boys tomorrow as well.

Remind them to use a urinal for urine only.

Remind them a toilet is for urine and feces only.

When urine is all over the walls, sinks, mirrors, and floor of the boys bathroom then it tracks down the CARPETED hall into our CARPETED classrooms.

Only the 4th/5th grade children who use the boys bathroom are having a problem. If this situation continues, more drastic measures will have to be taken.

Thank you for reminding your child about the proper use of a public bathroom.

Hello Parents –

Please check your child’s folder and planner every night, remind them to show you. This will help your child eventually get in the practice of reminding themselves of what they need to do. Your child needs your support at home, we are at the beginning of the year, we are getting into our routines. It’s hard to find the balance of doing something for them and letting them do something themselves.

Your child has to write in his/her planner every day, the reading log and letter are written in at the top of the page. The math assignment is the page number and assignment: page 45: 1, 2, 3. I try to make sure the students have due dates too.

Check your child’s folder, if it’s packed like a chipmunk’s mouth, then papers need to be taken out, looked at, maybe recycled. Some of your children are missing assignments, that need to be completed, these assignments may be on the Return to School side of their folder. Don’t recycle anything if you’re not sure, send it back to school, I can go through the folder with your child.

Help your child set aside a time to do homework, homework shouldn’t take more than 45 minutes a night. Let me know if there are problems, check parent connect for missing assignments, I will send home reminders on Friday if your child is missing any assignments.
