Monday, Sept. 10th

Tomorrow is BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT!!! It begins at 6:30 in the gym.  After a brief introduction by Ms. Stocks, we will move into the classrooms. This is a very important event and I hope to see all of you there :)

Today in class we did our Everyday math boxes (review pages of the work we did last week). We also got to fill our book boxes with our "on level" books.
Each child was given their Letter Today (A-U) and  got to choose books at their letter to put in their book boxes.  In class we ONLY read books at our level.  Research shows that students who read on level make faster, more solid growth. Since we have just begun the testing process, I may be changing some student's letters depending on the type of reading I see them doing in class.

We also got a new student today! We now have 22 students :) The students were very welcoming to him and were very willing to help him adjust to his new school.

I hope that you all got a chance to see your child's "daily report" today.  Each student wrote a quick note about what we did, what was their favorite thing about the day, their behavior color, and important reminders. We will be doing this everyday as a way to keep you informed and keep you updated about your child's behavior and upcoming events.

Thank you to those that sent picture, stickers, and supplies for your child' writing journal! We decorated them today and the kids LOVED doing it :)
