Volunteering

Dear Families,

I'm starting to feel much more settled into this year which is a huge relief!  Many of you have expressed interest in helping in (or out) of the classroom.  Here are some of the possibilities:

*Being a spelling helper- every Friday from 10:55-11:35- this time is shorter than what we normally have, so I need 3 parents this year for this time slot.
*Helping out with math games, possible once a month, from 9:00-9:45, with one week's notice
*Listening to children discuss their reading partnership books, read with a child whose partner might be absent or who needs to catch up, 1:45-2:15, one day a week
*Being available to assist with science lessons, or baking with kids, 2:15-3:00, with one week's notice
*From home, reading and commenting on student blogs that will be assigned to you- will begin in 2 or 3 weeks
*Coming in for special projects- I will send out an email on these occasions
*Chaperoning trips- I try to rotate parents when they volunteer so that everyone who wants to come has an opportunity

Please respond by email if you have interest in any of these opportunities (not necessary for trips) and I will get back to you ASAP.

I realize that this is the first group email that I have sent this year.  If you are feeling out of the loop, please check (or subscribe to) our class blog.  Homework is posted there and it is a great springboard for conversation with your child.

Thanks for considering these volunteering opportunities.
Yours truly,
Renee
