Good Afternoon!
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. We are off to a tremendous start to our first week back in the New Year! We have many exciting objectives beginning this week and a lot to look forward to ahead.
Important Info For the Week Ahead:
1) Reading Folders went home today with all new work for January. You will find the monthly assignments as well as our new weekly additions. We have begun using our “Book Baggies” as part of our guided reading program. Please see the attached letter and be sure to send in your child’s “Book Baggie” to school each day in their Reading Folder. For this week, we will be transitioning into our groups slowly, so we may keep the books the same for a few rounds before sending home a new book. It is still important for students to read them to build their skills and confidence. :) The books will grow in difficulty as we progress throughout the rest of the year.
2) Little Gym Registration Forms for the next session went home today. If you are interested in signing your child up for the class, please return the form back to school.
3) This Friday January 10th is our next TAG Day to help the 8th grade. The theme this month is “Superhero Day”. Students may dress down in Superhero themed attire if they bring their $1 donation.
4) Kindergarten Conferences will be held January 21st & 22nd. A letter will be sent home this week detailing your scheduled time and date. After receiving your letter, if you need to reschedule for any reason we can work out a better date/time that fits your needs.
