We are loving our studies of Michigan

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

We had such a fabulous day today! This morning the kids and I enjoyed more of our current novel. After math, we had Spanish, gym, Social Studies, and cursive practice. We also changed seats which everyone was excited about! Just a reminder that Thursday is a late start day. We start at 9:50am. I believe there will still be bussing on that day.

PLEASE SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL WITH AN EXTRA SET OF CLOTHES AND SHOES TO KEEP IN HIS/HER LOCKER!!! THE KIDS ARE COMING BACK IN SOAKED AND WANT TO CALL HOME TO GET FRESH CLOTHES! IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO DO THIS ALL WINTER!

Parents, please check your child's Blue Take Home Folder each day to check for mail, homework, and important information.

PLEASE INITIAL YOUR CHILD’S PLANNER EACH NIGHT SO I KNOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THE HOMEWORK AND EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING IN OUR CLASSROOM!

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR CHILD TO BRING SHARPENED PENCILS TO SCHOOL EACH DAY! PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CHILD WITH A PERSONAL PENCIL SHARPENER TO KEEP IN HIS/HER BINDER!!!

It is so important that your child complete his/her reading homework each night! It is the number one way for your child to improve! Please have your child take some time to read out loud to you. They also love hearing you read and you are a great model for them!
