Dear Families,

 

Here's the latest…

Parent Meeting/Open House

Thanks to all who came to the Parent Meeting. I hope it helped you get a feel for what we'll be doing. I'm always here for questions if you have some.

Classroom Visits and Volunteering

We have three regular volunteers at this point. It's great! If anyone else is interested, please let me know.

Math

I'll save some math for conference time and send some home. Yesterday I copied our most recent math test and sent that home. It was our second. I'll do the same with the first when I can. My hope is that you'll have some time to go over them with your child. First, talk about what they did well. That's not always where people go first, but learners need to think about and know what they're doing well, since those are the things we want them to repeat.

Email List

I'll use email to send information throughout the year. If you have not done so, please email me so I can add you to the list. So far I've got 17 out of 24. Thank you.

Halloween Party

I'd like to have some sort of Halloween Party, and I'm wondering if anyone out there would like to be in charge of it? Please let me know.

Author Visit

Here is an update from Mrs. Davis: There is an excited buzz in the air as we are all looking forward to  Roland Smith's visit Friday!  Our assembly will be at 10:30, with a power point presentation from Mr. Smith.  There will be time for autographs after the assembly.  If you child ordered a book through the school, they will pick it up then to be autographed.  If your child owns a Roland Smith book, they are more than welcome to bring it to the assembly and can have it autographed as well.  Everyone will receive an autographed bookmark next week.  We hope you can join us for part of this super fun day!
