Homework and Family Times

The students have been doing a great job completing homework and retuning their folders on Wednesdays. Every week we send home Family Times. This is not homework. It is a way to communicate our weekly story and what we are talking and learning about in school. Each day they list ways to help your child practice the skills while having fun. There is no need to turn it in as this is optional. Thank you for supporting your children at home!

Open House

Dear Parents,

         Our great start to the school year continues!  Reading groups are well underway.  Students need to continue to show responsibility, as reading time requires some independent work.

         The children are writing personal narratives in Writer’s Workshop.  We have been busy with Work Place stations in math.  All students have been working on sorting and looking for different ways to sort and classify.  Ask your child about the activities we are doing.

         Thank you for helping your child with the responsibility of returning Homework Folders and library books on time.  Thank you also for your support with your child’s nightly reading.  It really makes a difference in their reading progress.

This coming Thursday, September 22^nd is our open house.  Mrs. Dibblee will deliver an address in the cafeteria at 6:00.  Classroom visits will start after the meeting.  Your child will have an opportunity to show you around the room and some of the materials they are using.  You will also have an opportunity to sign up for a conference time as well as volunteer opportunities.  Conferences this year are on Wednesday, November 9^th or Thursday, November 10^th.

 If you haven’t already, please make sure to have your child bring a family picture that will be displayed in the classroom.

Have a great week!

Mrs. Humphrey

Birthday Memo

Hello families

Memo: Birthday celebrations in class

We have children with serious food allergies. This will make food celebrations difficult to plan.  However, we have a great plan in place to help us celebrate birthdays and keep our children safe and healthy. If you would like to celebrate your child’s birthday at school, we say no food items.  We will sing and celebrate without food.  If you want to send something in honor of your son/daughters birthday, please see the suggestions below.

·     classroom book

·     stickers

·     pencil/erasers for each child

·     ball

·     jump rope

Thank you for your help and understanding in this matter.

Mrs. Humphrey
