September 12, 2011

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.  This morning we continued to work on our Hopes and Dreams illustrations.  The students have been doing a wonderful job with these, and it has been interesting  discussing their goals with them.  Ms. Hopper and I started the 1:1 math testing for each child.  This will give us great information in regards to each child's understanding of number and operation.

Today's specials were PE and Library.

NOTES:
*Book orders are due tomorrow.

*Your child has reading homework tonight.  This may either be a book that he/she can read or one that they want read to them.  You may not finish the book tonight (depending on length).  If this is the case, please do not worry about how far you get.  The rule of thumb is about 20 minutes of homework a night.  I only send homework Monday-Thursday of each week.

*PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure your child is at school by 7:40.  We start Morning Meeting right away and it is very uncomfortable for kids to walk into a room where the whole group is already engaged in an activity.  I know the parking lot situation can cause delays, so please plan accordingly.

That is all for now.  I hope you have a great week.

Peace,
Tom
