Week of August 8th, 2016

​Hello Parents! 

​We completed our first week!! I love having your children in my class and I can already tell we are going to have a great year. This week we will be filled with learning, Read-A-Thon, Parent Open House, and BYOD parent meetings. 

I encourage you to check your child's binder each night. They will be bringing home important papers, their reading log (which should be signed nightly), math, and any other improtant homework. The binders have information sheets in them if you ever need to know where something is. As a reminder, the Data Wall should never be removed from the binder!! These will keep you updated on their common assessment scores.

​Open House - August 11th at 6:15pm

Parents this is an event just for you! You will learn more about what is going to take place in our classroom this year. This is a good time to ask any questions that you have about curriculum, testing, homework, and schedules. 

We will also have a BYOD parent meeting that you can attend before Open House. The BYOD meeting is at 5:30pm on the 11th. ​

​Read-A-Thon

​We have Read-A-Thon starting this week. This is a program where your students will read and raise money for the school. The school has a goal set of raising $50,000. In order to do this we are aiming to have each child recruit two sponsors who will donate money. As we raise money, your child will earn prizes. Please register your child online with the secret code I sent home in their binder. Once our entire class is registered we get a popsicle party!

Please register as soon as possible! My goal is to have everyone registered by Tuesday.
