We’ve begun our enVision Math.
We will continue working on Topic 14: Identifying and Describing
Shapes. Please review practice pages that come home in your child’s folder.
·
For Reading we will begin with the story, The Little School Bus.
A Family Times newsletter was sent home with details about the story and skills we will be working
on. Please review the Amazing
words, the ordinal numbers, first,
second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth,
letter recognition of letters Aa, Bb,
Cc, Dd, and Ee, the story
element “character”, and the high frequency words I and am.
·
Continue to check your child’s communication folder daily and if you haven’t already returned all the school forms and necessary
paperwork, then please return them as
soon as possible. All
forms must be returned to Mrs. Potts by Tuesday, Sept. 6th. Items on the KEEP side need to be
removed at home. **Any money, notes, or items for the teacher
to see NEED to be in your child’s folder.
Mrs. Potts doesn’t look through book bags---only the folders!
·
“Camera Words” (yellow sight word flashcards) were sent home this week
with a breakdown of the lists that will be assessed. Please begin to practice words and work at a pace that is
suitable for your child!!
·
AR/Book Buddy bags will be
sent home in your child’s backpack.
Please read over the notes enclosed and begin recording any books read
on the September recording sheet, which should remain in the bag.
·
We will
begin our class snack donations this week. Anyone who chose to
participate in the class snack WILL NOT need to bring a snack unless a note was sent home in your child’s
folder. I usually give at least 2-3 days notice. **At
this time, 21 students will be
participating with the rotation. The only food allergy
noted was FRESH STRAWBERRIES. **Parents who requested to provide a snack daily
should have received a note reminding them to pack a snack each day. **For those providing snack for the
class, remember snacks must be STORE BOUGHT and that if cups, spoons, or
napkins are needed you will need to provide those as well.
T
This week we will begin homework.
All homework pages will be stamped “HOMEWORK” and will be placed in the
Return side of the folder.
Homework needs to be completed the night it comes home and needs to be
returned the next day. (Be sure to
check the return side of the folder daily.)
·
Those interested in volunteering this school year should join the PTO
and have a criminal record check, a child abuse clearance, and fingerprinting
on file in the office, and complete ACT 126 training before helping with the
children at school. The 1st PTO
meeting will be held on Monday, September 12th @ 6:30 in the school
cafeteria.
·
The September Scholastic Book orders are due by Wednesday, Sept. 7th. Orders can be placed online at www.scholastic.com/readingclub using the activation
code: GJXGV or send in orders and money to the teacher—cash or check made payable to Scholastic.
·
Try to make sure your child has his/her bus tag every day. The end of the day can be hectic and
some children don’t know their bus numbers yet!
·
FYI: Any 2 hour delay day will be a NON-ROTATION day for
special classes. Students will not
go to a special class when there is a delay of schedule.
·
Keep practicing your child’s 4/5-digit number and begin practicing daily
sight words!!
Thank you
to all the parents who have donated supplies and items from our “helping
hands”. Your donations are greatly
appreciated.
I hope your child has enjoyed
his/her first week and is looking forward to returning on Tuesday!!!
Mrs. Potts
