*Popcorn fundraiser sales are almost every Friday so bring those quarters (no limit per child) first thing at 8:35 am. This Friday will be a half day of school so there will NOT be any popcorn sales!

Please make sure that your child’s book is in their backpack Monday night ready to be returned this next morning. Any lost or damaged books front he DuVall library will need to be replace by the individual child’s family. Thank you for helping your child become a responsible penguin!

*Reading Packs:Thank you for sending them back every day and spending about 10-15 minutes a night on the letters/words you find in there. This will help your child SO much reviewing their personal bags each night!

*Last week in daily 5 we began launching “Listen to Reading”. Students used the ipad to listen to books electronically on the ipad from the website Raz-Kids! I was so proud to log on and find students are also reading at home. Way to go my amazing students keep up the great work!

*This week in math I will be administering the mid module assessment for unit 1 to check for understanding of all concepts so far: number writing, counting objects in a group/line/scatter/circle (any way it is moved), sorting into groups/classifying and subitizing. Each child will be assessed one at a time and this type of formative assessment helps me to guide personal instruction for each child. I am excited to see how well the students are progressing in math and have already seen much growth in your children. I will have the data for your child available to show you at conferences 🙂

Dear parents,

We just pulled the names of 6 moms that will ride the bus with us to Wiard’s Apple Orchard for our field trip on the 18th. I wanted to THANK all of the parents for volunteering your time to accompany us and I wish we could take ALL of you on the bus with us. Unfortunately, we do not have enough space to do that, and we are so luck that 14 moms volunteered. WOW, that is amazing! I will say this though. If you still wanted to spend the day with us, I would like to invite you to either drive yourself or carpool with other mothers and follow the bus there (or meet us at the entrance gate). If you would still like to come, we’d love to have you. You would simply pay your entrance fee when you get there and join us there.

Here are the mom’s pulled to ride the bus. If something changes in your schedule which permits you from joining us, please let me know and I will pull another name from the basket. Thank you and have a great day!
