Week of August 18th

Homework will begin on Monday, August 18th. You will see your child's math homework and their phonics journal that will be used weekly. I will be sending home a note on Monday explaining in detail the use of the phonics journals. If you have questions please let me know.

Phonics journals will begin with Day 1 on the menu that is located on the inside of the journal. Students will return the notebooks to school on day 6, which is also the day of the test. I will be giving points for the journal each week.

I will also be sending home agendas for the students beginning on Monday. This is a new tool that has been made available to us. Students will continue to color their behavior for the day as well as record any additional information. Please continue to sign their agenda daily as that counts as part of their homework.

Welcome Back

It's hard to believe that summer has ended and we are off and running for a new school year! There are so many new and exciting things that will be happening and I can not wait to share all of the adventures with you and your children. I hope that you take an opportunity to view some of the old posts that are still on my blog from last year. It will give you an idea of how I post messages and share some of the fun things that we do in our classroom.

I hope that you find this tool useful. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at school. Email is the best source of communication, since it is difficult to always answer the phone. Thank you for your support! I look forward to a fantastic year.
