Happy Thursday!

I was overjoyed and ecstatic to have your students in class this week! We have been busy!

New Information:

  • PARENT CONFERENCES: Quarter 1 parent conferences are coming up! 🙂 Please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4fa8ae22a5fbc07-september

Past Newsletter Information:

  • HOMEWORK: We encourage all of our students to read for at least 20 minutes every night. I will also be assigning work that they can do at home (including: fun ELA & math games) on their Google Classroom. This is not required homework and can be worked on throughout the year. It is just additional practice and hopefully they will have some fun with the games. There is also a fun FREE math game called Prodigy that my students LOVED last year. There is also https://www.teachyourmonster.org/ which is a fun FREE ELA game.
  • WEEKLY NOTEBOOKS: I send home their work on Fridays. Please review it as I put notes on them and you can see what we are doing in class. Reach out if you ever have any questions.
