Classroom Connections

Your child will have three assignments – a spelling workbook page, and cursive page, and a fluency practice page. (If you haven’t paid the workbook fee, please do so soon!)

Be sure that your child studies his or her math facts for the daily quiz.  The students are either on 2’s, 3’s, or 4’s.

A quiz on place value will be given on Tuesday.

The cookie dough kick off is Monday!  Be ready to sell!

A new school year has begun!  Welcome class of 2008-2009!

As you can see, I let my edu-blog publishing slide after January.  I hope to not let that happen this year.

I will update this blog on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Well, I’ve been lazy getting back in the habit of updating our blog.  Hopefully, I won’t do it again!

This will be a busy week.  Check out the newsletter regarding tests.

I have a huge pile of papers graded, but things have been difficult since my laptop crashed.  I can’t enter grades.  I will probably write them down by hand, then send the papers home.

One paper that you will see soon is a permission form regarding my National Board work.  In a couple of weeks, we will have a couple of special lessons that I will film.  I need your child to participate!  Only a few people will watch my video.  The sole purpose of it is to see how I encourage my students to learn.  When you get this permission form, please sign it and return it as soon as possible!

Coupon book orders will begin soon!  I hope you will consider buying at least one for yourself.  They’re a great investment.

Let’s have a great week!

I’d like to thank everyone who helped with a party yesterday!  I’d like to especially thank our room mother for her coordination of everything.  She did much more than I expected.  Thank you so much!

Look for report cards after we return.  

School resumes January 7th.  I look forward to seeing everyone return.

Thanks to all for the presents yesterday.  You are too kind!

Merry Christmas and Happy 2008!
