Updates!

One Month Down....

This month has flown by!  Our class has really grown in the past few weeks.  We feel more comfortable working with each other and sharing our ideas.  We are learning to challenge ourselves and to not give up when things get tricky.  To keep things running smoothly I have some updates and reminders for everyone!

Thursday Folder

Our Thursday folders will be sent home each Thursday afternoon full of notices and work that we have completed in class.  Please make sure that you sign your child's folder on the sheet in the front cover and send it back to school on Friday.  Please take the notices and school-work out unless it is in the return to school pocket.\

New Project - Character Trait Book

A new project was sent home today that we will work on in school and at home.  Students will often be introduced to a new character trait in school and we will have discussions about what this trait means.  At home, students will be required to complete a book page about that trait.  An explanation sheet was sent home today along with the booklet.  There was also a parent signature page that I am asking families to send back in.  This will help me to make sure that everyone is on the same page.  We may not send this project home each day depending on our schedule and ability to introduce a new word in school.  I will be checking in with students frequently on how it is going to see if there is any further support that students need.  Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

MAH

Last week's MAH looked great!  Many students studied their math facts for longer than required!  Please help your child remember to get it signed and brought back to school on Friday.  There will be weeks where students will be asked to study math vocabulary instead of multiplication facts for MAH.  We are working on vocabulary flash cards this week and will switch to studying math vocabulary for MAH next week.

Thank You!

I cannot thank families enough for donating supplies to our classroom during Open House.  They were very much needed and appreciated!  I am still in dire need of 5-subject notebooks.  If anyone has any we could really use them!
