As I said at curriculum night, I am very slow at updating this website. I apologize if you have been looking at this page and seeing old information. It is now up to date with our schedule and important information.
Can you believe that we are already one month into school? Your kids are doing great and learning so much. I hope that they are sharing what they are learning with you at home.
A couple of things that I wanted to remind you of:
First, please remember to either email me or send in with your child the pictures of an event in your family by October 5. It can be any event- a family reunion, birthday party, or soccer game.
Purple take home folders will typically come home on Friday (it came home today this week). Please look through that information with your child and send back any forms that need to be signed.
Lastly, at the curriculum night, a few parents and I were able to discuss a problem we have been having in class with talking at inappropriate times, including in the hallway, while lining up, and during transitions. This is really disruptive to our learning environment and we have talked many times about how it is disrespectful, but the behavior has continued. Please follow up with your child about whether or not they are showing self-discipline (our character trait of the month) in this area. Many are doing the right thing, but it as an issue that I feel like has to be addressed with the whole class right now. Today was much better than the previous weeks have been and I am hopeful that this trend will continue. I am working to build in more times throughout the day when students will be able to talk freely or work with partners.
Please feel free to email me if you have any questions or concerns.
