Friendly Reminders:
- Parent Teacher Conferences are this upcoming Monday, October 11. Conferences are virtual this year. The Google Meet link will be on the sign up form next to time slot and your name. I will do my very best to stay on schedule!! Your child's conference form will be emailed "shared" with you this weekend and a paper copy will go home in Thursday folders next week.
- Date Change: Spelling Quiz - The spelling list for these groups is on Schoology in the "Writing" Course - Red Spelling Folder. Our current list focuses on the Long "o" sound patterns. Students are encouraged to practice their words at home. Our next spelling quiz is on Wednesday, October 13.
- New Math Unit - Fractions! We'll be studying fractions for the next few weeks. Our unit test will either be on October 28 or October 29. Students can practice their fractions skills and concepts by using the "Math links" on this website, Splash Learn and DreamBox.
- Assignments are not all posted on Schoology. As we transition back to "normal in-person" schooling this year, teachers are going back to lessons, activities and assignments that are not virtual (on Schoology). With that being said, Schoology and Class Link is an excellent resource for teachers, parents and students to use to "supplement" our classroom curriculum.
- The Elsa England Fall Book Fair starts this Monday, October 11. Book Fair will be during the week of October 4 - 8. See below about Fall Fest - Outside Book Fair, Kona Ice and Popcorn. Click here for Book Fair information and how to purchase books from the fair!
- Fall School Picture - Wednesday, October 20 at 8:40am (after Specials).
- Class Dojo - Check messages and your child's daily participation by tapping on the Class Dojo app each day. I try to post almost daily a Class Story to share a tidbit of what's going on in our classroom for parents. Each month I'll print off a Class Dojo report and send it home in Thursday folders. Thanks so much for all your support.
- Water bottle - Please, make sure your child has a water bottle in his/her backpack everyday. It's super hot outside and the water fountains are not accessible right now (only the refilling stations).
