Thanks to everyone who has come in (or is coming tomorrow) for Family Conferences. I hope you are able to get a better idea of the work and learning your child is doing in school. Your child's leading of the first half of the conference instills a strong sense of ownership for his/her learning. You are able to see your child's strengths and weaknesses and adjust how much support your child needs from you to be successful in school. The winter conference will not include your child, but in the meantime, if there was anything you wanted to talk about privately, please contact me.
To sum up the "outside of school" expectations for your child; reading every night, studying spelling baggie words and math facts, & completing daily math homework and weekly spelling workbook assignment. If you are every unsure of what needs to be done, please check our blog's homework page. Math fact triangles, spelling baggie words, and reading logs should be kept in the reading baggie (lovingly referred to as the "mama kangaroo). Wow- this sounds like a lot, but middle school is around the corner!
On a lighter note, soon the children will be wearing boots and I welcome the children to keep a pair of slippers at school. By order of a higher authority, THEY NEED TO HAVE HARD SOLES for walking to the bathroom/specials. Also, we have P.E. on Mondays, so sneakers are needed on that day. If your child does not want to wear slippers, another type of shoe may be left at school. I hope to see everyone comfy and cozy when the snow comes- wet socks are no fun!
I am sorry for the delay in this next piece of news, but we will be having our FIRST PUBLISHING PARTY on Tuesday, 11/20 from 8:20-9:00. If you need to get to work earlier than 8:20, I will be at school by 7:30 and you may come early. Here is a link for you to sign up to bring something to share: Sign-Up for Party . I hope to see all of you! The children will be sharing their personal narratives.
Have a great day and thanks for your support, Renee
