FIRST WEEK

Families of Room 31 ~

I hope you all enjoy the extended weekend.  We were certainly tired after our first days back to school.  What an exciting and HOT  first week we had!

 

HIGHLIGHTS

            •  We unpacked and labeled all our notebooks and folders

• We enjoyed some “get to know you” activities

            •  We began reviewing / discussing class and homework expectations

            •  We began to utilize our planners and homework folders.

            •  We took two of our math 100 fact quizzes and one spelling assessment

            •  We completed a scavenger hunt of the room 
 
WRITER’S NOTEBOOK ~ Wednesday I sent the students home wit their Writer’s Notebook, as well as a blue handout with directions.  The students are to decorate the FRONT of the notebooks with pictures / photographs / drawings / lists / memories / quotes that you can use as inspiration for writing their own stories.  This is optional There is a picture on the back of the blue paper to assist you in what it should look like.  Please have your child return their notebook by Thursday, September 6^th.
ALL ABOUT ME BAGS – Don’t forget to have your child complete / return their ALL ABOUT ME bag by Wednesday, September 5^th.  We need these for our getting to know you activities.
Please remember to send your child to school everyday with a SNACK and WATER BOTTLE.  Our lunch is at 1:05 and they need a snack to hold them.  Also, our room is HOT and a water bottle is suggested to keep them hydrated all year long.  Remember – NO NUTS/ TREENUTS!
 
PLANNERS - Don’t forget to check and SIGN your child’s planner every night.   They have homework Monday – Thursday and their planner and homework folder should be coming home and back to school EVERYDAY!
 
SUMMER READING / SUMMER MATH – All summer reading / math calendars were due this week.  I am still tracking down a few.    If your child has not, please make sure the works comes in next Tuesday.
 
Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have ANY QUESTIONS.   Email is the best way to reach me, yet you may send in a note / write a note in the planner if you would like.
 
I look forward to meeting all of you at Curriculum Night on September 13^th.
