I'm just reaching out to let you know what an ENJOYABLE first week we have had on the third floor! I am so proud of the students perseverance and effort. We have spend a bit of time getting to know each other, practicing and modeling our routines in many areas, and talking about the importance of being "present" in the moment. The students gave terrific effort on there baseline assessments in math and writing. Next week, we will being our focus in reading while they being their DRA's. I feel very fortunate to be their teacher! REMEMBER - there is NO SCHOOL FRIDAY or MONDAY!
Just a reminder that the students need to work on a few items for next week. (Directions were send home in their homework folder on Wednesday)
1. WRITER'S NOTEBOOKS - DUE BY FRIDAY SEPT. 8th
These notebooks were sent home this week for the students to DECORATE with items / photos that are meaningful to them. These items / photos can and will be inspiration for future writing assignments. Please make sure they are covering only one side (WRITER'S NOTEBOOK side - not the VOCABULARY side) with these personal items / photos/ drawings. *** On another note, if you have any laminating / packing tape at home, it would be helpful if you could cover their pictures with these when they are finished. If not, I will take care of this when they pass them in.
2. ALL ABOUT ME BAGS / ITEMS - DUE BY WEDNESDAY SEPT. 6th
White bags were sent home on Wednesday for the students to finish personalizing / decorating about themselves. They are to fill the bag with 3 - 5 items to use to help introduce themselves to their classmates. Please make sure the items chosen fit in the bag and can stay in school for a week or more.
I hope you and your family enjoy this long holiday weekend. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions / concerns.
Best -
Kelly Finneran
