Good
afternoon parents,
I
would like to thank those parents who were able to make it last night to Open
House. I know it was overwhelming having all of that information thrown at you,
so I am attaching a copy of the PowerPoint that I went (ran) over. If you were
unable to make it, I would highly encourage you to look over the PowerPoint so
you are aware of what your child will be learning and the expectations for this
year.
A
few very important notes from yesterday:
- Please
ask your child about the 25 book challenge and their progress with this.
- Please
talk to your child about talking at appropriate times as Mrs. Philp and I
are having a difficult time fitting in our instruction with the talking
that is taking place. We only have 2 hours to teach them and it is
imperative that they listen and follow directions.
- Please
check your child’s agenda daily as we use this as a form of communication
to keep parents up to date on their child’s schoolwork. If your child’s
agenda is blank, that is a problem because they should have something
written down every single day.
- Please
sign up for Class Dojo to monitor your child’s behavior in class and check
their behavior card as well. If you were not at Open House, this
information will be going home in your child’s Thursday folder next week.
- Please
help your child be responsible by ensuring they have everything in their
backpack and have all supplies ready for school. We are having several
issues with students forgetting things at home or saying my favorite line,
“My mom didn’t pack that in my backpack”. It is your child’s responsibility
to pack their backpack, they just may need some small reminders to check
to ensure they have everything they need. 😊
- Your
child should be reading for at least 20 minutes each night for a total of
2 hours each week. This should be spread out over at least 3 days. They
should be recording the time, title, and page numbers read in their
agendas along with a parent signature acknowledging they have completed
their reading.
If
you have any questions about the PowerPoint, please let me know.
Next
week in…
- Reading:
We will be discussing how to use context clues to determine the meaning of
an unknown word.
- Word
Work: The quiz on nouns will be on Thursday. Our vocabulary quiz will be
on Friday. Your child should bring home their Word Work journal each day
to study for both assessments.
- Writing:
We will continue our narrative writing.
A
few supplies that are still in need of being donated to the class:
- Board/Card
games (new or used, but good condition)
- Candy (peanut
free-individually wrapped)
- Colored printer
paper
- 60 watt
light bulbs
If
you have any questions or concerns, please let me know! Have a wonderful, and
RELAXING long weekend! Enjoy the start to the college football kickoff!!!! GO
DAWGS! 😊
