Week of January 17-19, 2012

Thanks to all for being so diligent in bringing your students in for their testing times.  Every single child showed up on time for their appointment!  Thank you for making my job easier!

We will be having our Valentine's Day party on Tuesday February 14th from 2:15-3:15pm.  Please let me know if you would like to help out.  We will be making bags in class for valentines.  I will be sending home a list of the names of kids in our class.  If you choose to bring valentines, please make sure you have one for everyone.

January 9-13, 2012

Please make sure you know your student's assessment appointment this week.  The appointments will be in the classroom and will be 20 minutes long.  Please be on time. 

Week of January 2-6, 2012

Today your child's Kindergarten CBM testing appointment was mailed to you.  The testing will be done January 11, 12, and 13.  Please make arrangements for your child to be at his/her assigned time.  Return the bottom half of the note to school as soon as possible so I know if you are able to keep your time. 

Remember to return reading folders and library books on Monday.

Hope everyone is having a fun and restful break!

One More Thing...

Also, there will be no school for kindergarteners on January 11, 12, and 13 for Winter CBM testing.  This is the same testing we did at the kindergarten pre-assessment.  After the break you will be assigned a time to bring your child in for the testing.  The testing appointments will be 20 minutes long.  A parent does not necessarily need to be there, so if you work during the day just arrange for someone else to bring your child to his/her appointment.  Thanks!

Week of December 12-16

I will not send home reading books over the winter break.  Sometimes they get packed up with holiday stuff and get lost!  We will be sending home some fun homework activities to work on over the break and also remember to be reading every day and marking your reading folders.  For the week of December 12-19 you should be marking week 12.

Week of December 5-9, 2011

This week we are having a Polar Express Pajama Party on Friday.  There was a note sent home about it today.  So the students are invited to wear their pajamas to school with a robe and winter coat.  They can also bring a blanket or pillow to sit on.

Week of November 21, 22, 2011

On Friday I sent home food assignments for our Thanksgiving feast on Tuesday November 22nd.  If you are able to donate, please send the food with your child on Tuesday.  We will start our feast at 12:45.  Remember, it is an early day, so school starts at 11:40.

The school food drive continues through November 22.  Please donate nonperishable food if you are able.

Happy Thanksgiving and have a great break!
