9/23 News and Updates

Dear Families,

I hope this email finds you well! We are off to a great start here in Room 304! We have a wonderful group of friendly, curious children!

Thank you to everyone who came out for our Open House.  If you were unable to make it, I hope our class blog has been helpful to you. I also want to thank EVERYONE for completing the Family Questionnaire.  If you wrote that you were able to volunteer, I will be getting in touch with you individually- probably after our NECAP testing which will occur during the first two weeks of October.

Since I have lots of information to share, I'm writing a list in an attempt to keep it brief and clear:

*reading partnerships are starting today- please help your child remember books/baggies/reading plans

*spelling baggies are going home today- please help your child practice her/his words

*ask your child about Mama Kangaroo

*Unit 1 math assessments are coming home- please review/sign/return

*student-led conferences will be held on November 11th

*visit and subscribe to our blog- if you scroll to the bottom, you will see all of our read alouds

*I'd like to pilot "Garbage to Garden" in our classroom- if you're interested in being a "compost angel" which means donating $11 for one month of service, please let me know.

*If you have a teapot we may borrow, please let me know.

*donations of soft tissues are always appreciated

I'm sure I have forgotten something, but now that everyone's information has been updated by the office, I'll be emailing more frequently.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.  Enjoy the sun, Renee
