Welcome Back

I hope you were able to enjoy your extra day off.

Just a few reminders...

Poetry binders came home on Friday.  Instructions are on the first page.  Please bring them back every Monday morning.

Look for your child's green take home folder on Wednesday.  Please return by Friday.  Thanks!

If you have not returned your beginning of the year paperwork please do so.

PTA clothing order forms are due Friday, October 7.  The shirts look awesome this year!

The PTA fundraiser has started.  This is a great way to earn money for our school.

Book orders are due Friday, September 16.

This is another busy, busy, busy week.

We will begin our Fast Bridge Assessments this week.  We will start with the reading assessments and hopefully be able to start math next week.  All of the assessments are done one on one and it takes awhile to get through them all.  The students will be assessed on nonsense words, sight words, sentence reading, and word segmenting.  They will also complete the adaptive reading assessment.  I am not quite sure what that one is like.  It was not required last year so we will see what it is like!

We will finish up learning reading strategies this week-Lips the fish, Chunky monkey, Tryin Lion, etc.  These strategies help you child figure out a word they are trying to read. We will also be learning about parts of a book.

This week in math we will continue to be working on number recognition and addition strategies. We will also learn about the commutative property.  6+4=10 so 4+6=10

We started writer's workshop last week.  This week our focus will be on why writers write, where to get ideas, and how writer's workshop is conducted.

Have a fabulous week!
