Monday!!

Picture day is tomorrow!!! Please send in your order form or order online.

Refresh critical back-to-school skills for a successful school year:

Establish routines that help students do their best. To help your child develop good habits and independence: • Put an alarm clock in your child’s room. Instead of you waking her up, see if the alarm can. • Prepare at night. Have your child pack her backpack, pick out an outfit and put necessities by the front door.  You can plan breakfast and make sure her lunch is ready to go. • Create a homework schedule.Pick a consistent time for studying, such as after school or before dinner. When will your child have the most motivation and energy? • Stick to a regular bedtime. Allow time for duties—bathing, brushing teeth, putting on pajamas, reading and saying goodnight. • Post charts to help your child stay on track—a weekly schedule, a bedtime checklist and a reminder by the front door.

Math test is tomorrow!

Updates

Math Test will be Tuesday. Study guide went home on Friday. Please practice for the test and bring the packet back on Monday because we will be reviewing in class Monday.  The review will be very similar to the test. 

Picture day is Tuesday! If you plan to order please bring your order form on Tuesday. Thank you.

I appreciate all of your support on completing homework each night. Please remind your child to put their name on their paper at home.  

Hope you had a great weekend.

Wednesday Updates

Conferences
Thank you for returning the notes so quickly. This really helps us with planning and organizing the conferences. We try our best to accommodate all of your requests. Our Wednesday and Thursday nights are already full, so if you can please consider a day conference or a 1-5 slot that will be great. Thank you for those of you who signed up early at Back to School Night.
Alex's Lemonade Stand
We appreciate all of the thoughtful donations that are coming to school. I hope the children are checking with you before they bring their money in. Some of the children have brought in very generous donations already. Thank you so much. This is a district wide charity that we are supporting. As a class, we will be using it as our community project and hopefully coordinating an actual lemonade stand in the spring. We will be doing this with our 4th grade buddies. Thank you for your participation!!!
Have a great day!
