Important Announcements:
*Today marks the end of the
first nine weeks. Report cards will be
available online starting Friday, October 10, 2014. Next week’s grades will count towards the
second nine weeks, and there is a chance with conferences that I will not get
next week’s grades updated until sometime during Fall Break.
*Parent/Teacher conferences
will be held on Wednesday and Thursday evening.
I sent e-mail reminders last night about your child’s conference date
and time. My schedule is very tight with
most conferences back-to-back with another conference. Conferences will have to end on time so
please be prompt so that we can begin your child’s conference on time. If you need to reschedule your child’s
conference for any reason, please contact me as soon as possible.
*As the time for conference
approaches I thought I would share the e-mail addresses of the special area
teachers in case you have questions about classroom grades and/or assignments:
Art-
swhitton@brownsburg.k12.in.us
Music-
sdziadosz@brownsburg.k12.in.us
PE-
shopkins@brownsburg.k12.in.us
*Our Fall Party will be next
Friday, October 10th. It will
start at 2:30 p.m. and end at 3:15 p.m. Because
of our party, our specials schedule has changed on Friday. We will go to our Friday special from 1:00 –
1:45.
*Our Unit 3 math test will be
next Friday, October 10th.
*Mrs. Wood’s class is
celebrating Socktober and is collecting new socks of any size to be donated to
homeless shelters. If you are interested
in helping out, you can send in any sock donation, and we will make sure it
gets to Mrs. Wood.
*Continue to work on addition
and subtraction math facts. Make sure to
use those fact triangles that were sent home, or you can practice for free
online at www.xtramath.org. Let me know if
you need the log-in information sent home again.
*If anyone is able to come in
and volunteer next week, send me an e-mail and let me know what day and time
works best for you! Thanks!
*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!
*The blog will also be updated with this information as well
