FW: Newsletter 2

Newsletter 2                       2014-2015                             8/29/2014

 

Dear Families,

 

Hello, and welcome to Room 302.

If you've received this, that means I was able to successfully put you on my class email list for this year. If there is another address you'd like to use or add, please let me know.

 

I think this is going to be a great year, and I'm really looking forward to learning about your children, and to teaching them. I want to remind you about some ways to stay in touch with what we're doing. Email is always good if you need to contact me. You can also call.

 

Our Twitter account is https://twitter.com/room302. We have a blog at http://room302.blogspot.com/ and our classroom web site is http://swift.enumclaw.wednet.edu/bde/jkurtz/index.php. Once school is started, my goal will be to use the Twitter site to tell about what we do during the day. You can also go back and read what we've done in the past, and you can use the blog if you're curious about that as well. I those sites to post other links that may be of interest, as well.

 

It was great to see some of you the other day at Open House, but if you couldn't make it, that's okay. I'll see everyone on the first day, Tuesday, September 2. If you haven't brought supplies yet, please bring them that first day. (The list is below in case you need it.)

 

We'll have snack time every day. If you want to send in snack to share, that would be great. We currently have 24 students. For those who would rather bring their own snack, that's fine too. Either way, no peanuts please.

 

If you have questions now, or at any time, please ask. I'm happy to help.

 

See you soon.

 

Supplies:

Please put names on this stuff:

·         1 box 24 ct Crayola crayons

·         5 large glue sticks

·         Pencil top erasers

·         2 Dry Erase Markers (black or blue)

·         5 wide-ruled spiral notebooks

·         1 water bottle

·         3 dozen #2 pencils (Ticonderoga) Please sharpen

·         1 pair Fiskar scissors

 Sincerely,

Jeff

Seahawks Visit

We had some great reactions to the Hawks being at school today. Here are some of them:



Today the Seahawks came to my school. I am going to cry. I am not going to wash my hands because the mascot, the two cheerleaders, and the four players came and high-fived my hands.  T.F.

At 10:30 the Seahawks came. They gave us $10,000. It was fun! I love it! We went out to the bus stop. Then they came. S.B.

I was excited for them to come. There was a mascot, 2 cheerleaders and 4 players. Then we went back to class and did writing and wrote about the Seahawks. M.O.

Today the Seahawks came to my school!!! One of the football players high-fived my hand!! Two cheerleaders came and four football players came and the Seahawks mascot came! The Seahawks mascot was a Seattle hawk. I was sooooo happy but soooo nervous!!! C.A.

Today the Seahawks team came to our school. I couldn’t wait. They might come to our classroom. It would be so cool if they came to our classroom. I just found out there is a mascot and cheerleaders. We went outside and waited for the bus to pull up. We were all cheering. Connor was about to lose his voice. Blitson is the mascot. The cheerleader’s name was Zoe. C.C.

Today the Seahawks came to my school! The school decorated Seahawk’s stuff everywhere! And guess what! My nutcracker was in the gym! There were paintings, balloons, drawings, chains, NFL signs, and more! My school got ten thousand dollars! And at the end on of the Seahawks game me a high-five! It was the best assembly ever! S.W.

Newsletter 6

Newsletter 6                       2013-2014                                 11/26/2013

Dear Families,

Thank you to everyone for coming to conferences. We had 100% attendance this year. I can't recall the last time that happened.
To recap a few things:
¨     Kids should be reading easy books. That means 97-100% accuracy.
¨     We'd like all students to have math facts memorized by the end of the year. For 2nd grade that's all addition facts up to 10+10, and the related subtraction facts. For 3rd grade, it's all those addition and subtraction facts, plus all the multiplication and division facts. Five to ten minutes practice per day is better than longer periods only one or two days per week (or month).
¨     Homework pages come home every day. We're asking no more than 20 minutes. Feel free to use part of that time for fact practice.
¨     If you need help with Khan Academy or Typing Agent, please let me know.
¨     It is not necessary to have a Twitter account in order to read our tweets. Just go to https://twitter.com/room302.
RAZ Kids
This is an online reading program, and has been paid for once again by our PTA. Thank you.
To access the site, go to www.raz-kids.com/login/jkurtzk.  After students find their names, they can choose between "Your Assignment" or "On Your Own—Bookroom". The first choice is where students start with the easiest books and work up. The Bookroom lets students explore and read any book they want. Books are available in English and Spanish. As always, students should make sure they are always reading books that are easy for them. Third grade will be reading and taking their state tests online, so extra online practice cannot hurt.
Sitios Web
Espero que, en ausencia de boletines que llegan con más frecuencia, ustedes pueden utilizar nuestros sitios web para estar un poco mas informado. Recuerde también que el blog (http://room302.blogspot.com/) puede traducir estos boletines.

Let me know if you ever need anything.

Sincerely,



Jeff
