Welcome to the first week of a new school year! As I reflected on Back to School Night, I realized that there were a couple of items that I forgot to mention. So, thank you for reading this!
Thank you to all the parents that have signed into DOJO so far! Please don't forgot to sign in with the class code that went home on Back to School Night.
Here is the link to the PTA video, please take a few moments to watch and see all the great things that our PTA does for our school and new school year information. https://youtu.be/clX7oJzeGug
I do have some sticky notes with "Wish List' items. They are simple items that I use through out the year, mostly for science.
On Tuesday we will be doing a Science investigation, food coloring will be used. If you'd like to send your student with a large shirt to wear over their school clothes, that wouldn't be a bad idea. Usually it is only hands that get the bulk of the coloring and it does wash out.
On Friday our first Reading Log will be coming home, it is a yellow paper. Scholars will keep track of minutes read, pages read, title of book and a 3 sentence summary of what they just read. It will be due the following Friday. I will assign the first book report once we've gone to library.
For those who have signed up to help in the mornings, I will let you know when to start. This first week or two we will be learning the procedures of how our morning Data Binders will work.
If you haven't gotten on Power School yet for SAFE SCHOOL AND COMPUTER USE POLICIES, please do! If you need help, Mrs. Griffiths is the person to see!
