Hello All,

It was so great to see you on Thursday!  However, if you were unable to attend the Back-to-School Night, these are a few things you will want to do.

1.  Contact Mrs. Barrett (our Room Parent) with information you wish to share in a class roster.  This will allow you to keep up with Parent Alliance news, as well as special classroom activities.  It will also be useful information for your child if they need to connect with another student in the class.  E-mail Mrs. Barrett at Kris.m.barrett@gmail.com 

2.  Sign up for a Parent- Teacher conference for the week of October 7-11.  The conferences are usually scheduled until 2:40, but I can make special arrangements if needed.

This week you will all receive notification about your child's RTI teacher.  RTI will begin on September 30th.  However, if you have questions throughout the year regarding your child's reading progress, please direct them to the Homeroom teacher.  We have weekly meetings to discuss the kids' progress, as well as informal conversations on a daily basis.  


This week's Homework Packet looks a little different.  The kids have a 20 word spelling list, but are expected to write 10 strong sentences rather than completing a workbook page.  The spelling words extend the concept from last week's spelling list.  Math practice has also moved on to multiplication,  so we are beginning with facts addressed in 2nd grade: 2s, 5s, and 10s.  In math class. we will begin working on addition, reviewing regrouping and then balancing equations.


This week we are also sending home a special project (on Thursday).  Students will be making a 3 dimensional model of some landforms.  Specifics about the project will come home on Thursday, and the kids will have a couple of weeks to build and label their model.  We don't expect you to purchase any new materials for this project, so be creative.  In the past, students have really enjoyed this activity!

Take care, and Parent Volunteers, I'll see you this week!
