It is much easier if the books are all checked-in before we go to the Media Center. \u00a0At my own house, my sons always keep their library books in their backpacks. \u00a0Whenever they are finished reading them, they place the\u00a0books\u00a0in\u00a0their backpacks so they\u00a0don&#8217;t get mixed up with all of our own personal books. \u00a0It works well for us.<\/li>\n<li>Letter Books will be sent home today. \u00a0This week&#8217;s letters are\u00a0T \u00a0and t. \u00a0The boys and girls love sharing their letter books with the class. \u00a0Letter books are due on Friday.<\/li>\n<li>Kindergarten Field Trip information and permission slips will be sent home today. \u00a0If you are interested in chaperoning for this trip, please indicate so on the bottom of the permission slip. \u00a0Your background check must be approved in order for you to go. \u00a0If you can&#8217;t go on this field trip, there will be other field trips planned in the future.<\/li>\n<li>We will go to Music and Art today.<\/li>\n<li>Please find some headphones for your child today. \u00a0They need to be in a ziplock bag, labeled with your child&#8217;s name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wednesday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Raz-Kids: \u00a0your child will be coming home with login information today. \u00a0Raz-Kids is an on-line leveled book website. \u00a0Your child will have assess to thousands of books that are right at their level. \u00a0Your child can either read the book or listen to the story. \u00a0Afterwards, they take a short comprehension quiz. \u00a0My last year class used Raz-Kids all summer long. \u00a0Reading on Raz-Kids can count towards their Nightly Reading Homework. Plus, it is great practice for our class to read and answer questions on the computer, which is something we need to do for upcoming assessments. \u00a0I paid for the one-year subscription out of my own pocket last December and found it to be money well spent! \u00a0The Lindbergh PTA has talked about purchasing Ras-Kids for the classrooms this year. \u00a0If you like Raz-Kids, please let the PTA know.<\/li>\n<li>Please find some headphones for your child today. \u00a0They need to be in a ziplock bag, labeled with your child&#8217;s name.<\/li>\n<li>We will go to music today.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Thursday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I will be out today for the next Science Leader training. \u00a0Mrs. Miller will be our guest teacher today. \u00a0She is an outstanding teacher and is excellent with our students!<\/li>\n<li>Please find some headphones for your child today. \u00a0They need to be in a ziplock bag, labeled with your child&#8217;s name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Friday:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Letter Books are due today.<\/li>\n<li>It is gym day, please have your child wear his\/her gym shoes today.<\/li>\n<li>Please find some headphones for \u00a0your child today. \u00a0They need to be in a ziplock, labeled with your child&#8217;s name.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>October PBIS Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each month your child needs to stay on green 80% of the month in order to be invited to attend the PBIS reward. \u00a0For the month of October that means your child cannot move their clip five or more times. \u00a0For the students who either never moved their clip or did so 4 or less times, will receive a special reward during the school day. \u00a0For the students who moved their clip 5 or more times, during the month, they will go to the reteaching room where they will learn strategies to help them improve their behavior in the classroom. \u00a0If you see your child&#8217;s behavior chart getting close to 5 clip changes, please remind them that they need to make better choices so they can attend the reward, I will be telling them the same thing in class. \u00a0This can be confusing at first for kindergartners. \u00a0They typically think that if they were on green on the reward day, they can go but it is really about their behavior for the whole month. \u00a0This will be easier to understand as time goes on in kindergarten.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great week!<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Wright<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Families, I hope you are enjoying the long weekend! \u00a0Here is what you need to know for this upcoming week: Tuesday: Welcome our new student Martin to our class! \u00a0He is coming from Long Elementary in Dearborn. \u00a0We are excited to meet you. \u00a0We have 25 students in our class. \u00a0Sadly, Nicklas moved away [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":612,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1018","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-class-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1018","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/612"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1018"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1018\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1018"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1018"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iblog.dearbornschools.org\/wrightt1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1018"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
