Good Morning,
  I hope you had a great weekend.  Below is the volunteer schedule for this year.  It will start on Tuesday, October 17th.  If you would still like to sign up, take a look at the schedule and let me know.

Parent Volunteer Schedule: 2013-2014


I want to thank everyone that was able to sign up to volunteer in the classroom.  Below is the schedule.  We will start Tuesday, October 17th (no school on the 16th). 

Mondays:  Marya Dungan (1st, 3rd, & 5th Monday of each month) 10:30-11:25
                   Kelvey Wilson (2nd & 4th Monday of each month) 10:30-11:25
                   Rachel Rosenbloom (9:15-10:30)

Tuesdays:  Your name could be here!

Wednesdays: Sheila Fiaschetti (1st, 3rd, & 5th Wednesday of each month) 9:00-10:30
                      Sheila will start in mid November.

Thursdays:  Your name could be here!

Fridays:     Lindsay Jernigan (1st, 3rd, & 5th Friday of each month) 8:30-9:00
                  Sara Arman (2nd & 4th Friday of each month) 8:30-9:00
                  Leslie Badger  (every other week) 8:30-9:00
                  This will allow us to reach a lot of kids (for editing) in a short period of 
                  time.

The following parents will be typing stories from home:
*Leslie Badger
*Sharon Parks
*Carla Ryley
*Barclay Rappeport

I will send home a folder with the stories in them and directions on what to do. You can just type them in word or email and then email the story to me.  I will print htem at school.


  Today I introduced the 4th Daily 5 activity of Listen to Reading.  We established the routine and what it would look and sound like.  The purpose of this activity is to allow students to hear stories read to them and then test their comprehensions strategies.  I will be using the RAZ Kids web program for this activity.  There will be a note coming home about this in the coming weeks.

1st Grade Math Students and Parents, please check the video below about homework.

  I hope you have a great week.

Peace,
Tommy
