I hope everyone enjoyed a long weekend!! It was so nice to get some extra sleep!

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY: We could use a couple parents to come to the STEM LAB on Thursday after lunch (11:30) to help the kids log on more quickly. I don’t think this will take that long… but it’s a great excuse to eat lunch with your child that day!! Just email or text me if you can help. THIS HAS BEEN POSTPONED FOR A COUPLE WEEKS… I WILL NEED SOME PARENTS THEN. 

We are continuing to get into the daily routine.  We are practicing lining up the right way EVERY time and listening to directions. This will help us as we practice some centers and how to be independent during this time. 

We have started using the iPads and Chrome books… and the kids are loving it! They were so awesome as we went to our first Assembly and learned about Internet safety. In math, we are learning about the different ways we can make numbers. This is so important as this is the foundation for so many other things. Please check their work and watch for papers they need to “practice.” Our last test on writing addition sentences was great and everyone showed proficiency or mastery! So exciting to see kids loving math! The kids also did DIBEL testing and I will be able to get everyone leveled soon. I adore having the kids read to me!! Let me know in the “concerns” section on the homework if the last couple fluency passages have been too easy… I will give out some harder ones!!

Official Zoo Field trip news: It is scheduled for Tues., September 12. I have had several parents volunteer. I’ll let you know if I need more. I do know that kids will need SACK lunches (which can be bought from the cafeteria) because it is an all day trip. I will have more details as soon as I can talk with the other teachers and get the info. 

Thanks for letting me teach your kids… they are wonderful!!
