Important Announcements:
*Students that were drawn from the paw bucket for the last
two weeks: Abigail, Atta, Caden, and Justin
*Our class was drawn for the paw bucket this week! Our special treat is that we get to wear our
pajamas to school on Friday!
Yippee!
*I will be sending home mid-terms on Monday. Please sign and return those by Tuesday. Thanks!
*Next week I will be sending home parent/teacher conference
sign ups for the families that I do not have a conference scheduled for
already. Please send those back as soon
as possible!
*Next week we are taking a week off from our new reading
series. This means that your child has a
week off from spelling and dictation.
Enjoy!
*We will be practicing fluency and comprehension next week
by practicing Reader’s Theater plays.
Your child will have an assigned part that he/she will need to practice
daily next week for homework. On
Thursday, I will send home a rubric that I would like for you to use to
evaluate how well your child is reading his/her part. On Friday your child will take a test over
his/her play.
*I sent home a sticker chart today with your child’s name on
it with the word August. This was your
child’s homework chart for August. The
percentage at the bottom is the percentage of homework your child turned in on
time. The letters NS stand for no school
and AB stands for absent. If your child
has an X on his/her chart, it means he/she did not turn in homework on
time. Your child will get these at the
start of each new month.
*We have started our geography unit in Social Studies. As you are visiting places in Brownsburg
(restaurants, stores, neighborhoods, etc.), can you please take your child’s
picture in front of them and send them to me electronically? We will be using these pictures during our
geography unit. Thanks so much!
*I believe in building relationships with the children both
inside my classroom and outside the classroom.
If your child participates in any extracurricular activities (sports,
dance, theater, etc.), or has any other events that he/she would like to invite
me to, please let me know, and I will do my best to come!
*Friday, September 20th will be our annual Dog
Jog event! We will have our kick-off
convocation on Friday, September 13th.
