Dear families,

I hope you and your children have settled back into the school routine!  The class and I are enjoying getting to know each other and learning together. 

Next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings, the children will be taking the reading portion of the NECAP tests.  The schedule is the same for the following week, but it will be the math portion.  During those two weeks, there will not be any math study links going home, but I still expect the children to read every night.  There will be one spelling workbook page for each week.  Please be sure that your child gets a good night's sleep, eats a healthy breakfast, and comes to school on time.

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend our Open House evening.  I have to admit that being in a larger room gave a little bit of stage fright, so I may have forgotten some nitty-gritty details/requests.  Here's a list:

*be sure to monitor your child's reading and sign the reading log- it's turned in on Mondays
*please date notes sent in with your child
*visit/ subscribe to our class page
*our birthday celebrations are food and gift free
*hand sanitizer in lunch/snack bags is allowed/encouraged
*easy-to-eat snacks are helpful since they're eaten during math time
*soft tissue donations are appreciated
*children are allowed to call home for missing items until January 1, 2013- sort of a New Year's Resolution

I am impressed with how quickly the class is learning the routines of the class in all subjects and working as a team!  Thanks so much for your support!

Have a great weekend, Renee
