Please note our new lunch time...12:00-12:40. By moving our recess/lunch back 10 minutes, there is less congestion in the lunch room.
Reading logs went home in Daily Folders for the first time today. Please help your child complete the log for one book each night. Talk about the stories, and help as your child completes the log.
These logs stay in the folders on the Reading Log side. The folders come back to school each day. Students may borrow a book from school to take home, but only if they have their folder. Books may not travel back and forth without the protection of the folder. If your child does not have their folder, he/she will have to read books from home. The reading logs get turned in on Friday mornings, and students will bring home a new log every Friday. Today students worked with partners to read their small moment stories. Everyone did an awesome job taking turns and listening when their partners were reading.

8:40 - Morning Work and Lunch Choice 9:05 - Writing Workshop 10:05 -10:15 - Snack Break 10:17 - Specials (Spanish/Even Days & Gym/Odd Days) 10:53 - Reading Workshop 11:50 - Lunch (recess 11:50-12:10 lunch 12:10-12:30) 12:30 - Math 2:00 - Recess 2:20 - Word Work 3:00 - Fluency Practice/Science/Social Studies 3:30 - Jobs 3:45 - Dismissal Here are a few odds and ends:
*School begins at 8:35 this year...not 8:40. *Students must go to the gym upon arrival every morning. They will not be allowed to go to their lockers or the classroom. *Students should bring their own snacks. I will not be providing snacks. Donations would be greatly appreciated! *Ear buds! We use the classroom netbooks every week. The headsets we have here are large and uncomfortable. Students are encouraged to bring in their own set of ear buds. These will be kept in a personalized bag in a safe drawer in the classroom. *If you are picking your child up from school, please send a note so I know. There is nothing worse than a child who thinks he is getting picked up when he's not, and the busses have all left. A quick note will let me know not to put your child on the bus. *If you do pick your child up, remember to wait outside the front doors. When parents wait inside it causes congestion when students are trying to leave. Thank you! Welcome back students and parents! I'm glad I had the chance to meet some of you at open house last week. If we didn't meet, look for your child's Friday folder to come home on the first day. Inside the folder are important notes and forms to be completed and returned. I'm looking forward to a great year!
