Spotlight Due Friday, Sept. 18

Math: Home Connection (worksheet in blue folders) p. 1 and 2: spend 10-15 minutes on this assignment. The "Challenge" does not have to be completed but students can try it.  We are getting into the habit of trying homework and bringing it back the next day. :)

 Allow your student to work on their own.  By working on their own, students show me what they know/what they remember from the lesson that day.  They also get an opportunity to show you what they know!  Please guide them with good homework skills: find a place that's quiet and allows your student to focus.  Guide them to stay focused and on task.  Also, try not to tell them they're "wrong" but rather to "try again."  You all are wonderful parents/guardians!!!

The assignment does NOT have to be complete but try to spend 10-15 minutes of working on it.

Grandparents Day is next Friday!  Please return RSVP slips (gold) ASAP!  Thank you!

Wednesday, Sept. 9

Spotlight due next Friday the 18th

Grandparents Day will be next Friday as well.  It is a "gold" paper in yellow folders tonight.  Please return RSVP slip as soon as possible.

First Day of School! Tuesday, Sept. 9

What a great (humid) first day!  Before we left today, each student shared a word (or words) about how they felt about today...ask your student what he/she said!

No independent readings tonight.

Spotlight posters are due next Friday...I will hand out paper for them tomorrow (sorry we just didn't get to it today!)

Please sign/initial planners next to my "SL" initial and bring back to school tomorrow along with our yellow "take home" folders.

Back to school...

Well it's the night before school starts, and all through the house, everyone's awake...and excited about it!!!  Can't wait to see everyone in the morning!!!  Get a good night's sleep!
