Our Amazing Week At A Glance And Other Important News

WOW what an amazing week! WE have been working so hard on so many things. Here are some things that you should know and can visit with your student about.

WE have been practicing school and classroom procedures and expectations. WE are getting better and faster (mostly)  which is very important. Following our school and classroom rules and procedures keeps your student safe,  happy and our classroom run smoothly.  Please visit with your student about what our school and classroom rules are. How they are doing in the process of being respectful to self, others and the school?…Are they listening to the teacher when it is learning time? Are they walking quietly down the hall keeping their eyes forward and  hands to themselves? Can they tell you what the correct behaviors in the lunchroom and bathroom are? We will continue to work on all these throughout the year because as the old saying “Practice Makes Perfect.”

I have to say that our class is SSSSOOO good and sharing with each other. They are so kind and willing to help each other. I am loving this classroom trait.

PLEASE check out our blog this coming week for fun school/class websites and passwords that you can access from home such as Razkids…


Picture DayPicture day was a great success. Our class smiles Rocked the house!! I can’t wait to get my hands on our class pictures. I think it’s so fun to see how much they change from their fall picture to those taken in the spring…

I will begin sending your student’s homework folder home next week, however it won’t contain any homework YET. It may contain some classwork and school information however. This will be a great way for your student to practice being responsible in that they will be bringing it from school to home then back to school. Have your student show you their folder  and any work that they have in there…THEN, have them put it right back in their backpack so it will be ready for the next day.

YEAH!!! I can’t wait see what fun adventures we will have while visiting Hogle Zoo. Save the date…Tuesday September 8th. Buses will be pulling out promptly at 8:45! THANKS SO MUCH, I had 10 parent volunteers. From what I understand, only five parent volunteers can ride the bus with our class to the zoo…SO… Let me know if you are for sure going and would be willing to drive your own car. If you want to bring siblings plan on driving your own car. The donation fee  for each student is $3.  JUST IN CASE…Please be prepared (Just in case) to pay for yourself and any extra children you bring. Please bring a disposable sack lunch with your student’s name on it. Chaperones, please bring a bag to put your student’s lunches in. Since our time at the zoo is so limited, we will not be stopping by any gift shops…

Parents you have the most amazing students!!! Mrs. Hill and I are so impressed with how kind they are in addition to how HARD and willing they are to try new things. Today they practiced writing a couple sentences. We reviewed the following language/writing concepts the first letter of every sentence ALWAYS starts with a capital letter, each word has a space before and or after it, as well as  using the correct ending mark. When you are reading with you student, please point out these important language concepts. Have your student pay attention to your/their reading voice…When do  voices go up or down…speed up and slow down.

Parents and students, thanks again for all your support it means so much. We are going to have such a fantastic star filled year!!!

Love,
Mrs. Vella and Mrs. Hill
