This week we will be going over:
ELA: Character response – I can describe how the characters respond in a story to see how they grow and change throughout it.
Math: Adding and subtracting within 20 – I can add and subtract within 20 to build stronger foundational skills.
Phonics: Short vowel sounds a and i – I can read short a and short i sounds in words to make me a better reader.
Sight Words: We are on week 1.1 – you can find this in their take home folders.

What is coming home?

Suggested Class Supply List ~ 2024-2025

NOTICE: THE ITEMS ON THIS LIST WILL BE USED DURING THE REGULAR SCHOOL DAY.  THEY MAY BE BROUGHT FROM HOME ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS, OTHERWISE, THEY WILL BE FURNISHED BY THE SCHOOL.

Instead of you doing the shopping, I will do the shopping for you.  All you need to do is make a donation of $30.00 to Mrs. McLaughlin’s class. You may easily pay online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other donations” and typing Mrs. McLaughlin’s Class in the description. (There is a $1.50 fee to pay online). The office will be collecting money on Back To School Night, you may also pay on the first day of school. In addition, each student will need to bring a pair of headphones, labeled with their name.

This way I can get all needed supplies purchased and labeled before students even come back to school, and parents have fewer things to buy during a busy time of year.

*Please note, these are the only supplies allowed; anything else will be sent home.

The $30 donation will purchase each student:

• Expo Dry Erase Markers
