Have a great 3 day weekend!

This week we learned about some other characters who needed more self confidence to avoid worrying about what others think. I hope these past two weeks have helped the children feel more confident in who they are and recognize their special gifts.
The math timed tests that are coming home have been scored. We did these twice. The pink score is the first time we did it. The purple score is the second time we did it. If your child improved from one to the next, you will see a + at the top of addition or subtraction. Great job! We are working on showing growth in these facts to be speedy fast! Please work on these facts with flashcards at home to help improve your child's rate of answering the facts. Thanks.
We are still spending a lot of time during transitions getting the talking under control. Please remind your child to use good character and respectful behavior. We need reminders on following directions and good listening skills. I love rewarding those students who have mastered these skills. Let's encourage all of the children to do this.
Thank you for coming to Open House. We had nearly every parent here to represent each child's family. I was so glad to meet some of you for the first time and to see some of you again. Thank you for taking interest in your child's education and our classroom. I am always looking for more take home volunteers, so please let me know if you're interested. I need one other parent for Book Orders each month (Stapeling the packets together) and one for Book It recording. Thanks. I know there is a lot to remember and keep up with so please email me if you have any questions.
Baggy Books are off to a great start. I love seeing the excitement when they come in raving for a book exchange. Keep it up!!!
Have a lovely 3 day weekend. Enjoy the time with family and friends. My family and I will be camping all weekend!
