Terrific Tuesday!

We had a great day!  We are slowly getting used to our schedule. Of course, recess and lunch are the "hit' subjects. Smiles!

The children are coming home with a sheet with this week's spelling words on it. These words were written in their notebook as well. I suggested to the children that they have someone call the words out to them tonight to see which words they need to work on. They can write these words in their agenda so they remember to study those words every night prior to the test on Friday. Tonight for homework, they are to put the words in abc order. We began this process in class today to review this skill. They are to return with this completed sheet tomorrow to check. Every week I post the words as well on the blog so that your child should never be without a list of spelling words to review.

Other responsibilities tonight include:
Wear a stalk of broccoli..we are reading the class novel, How to Be Perfect in Just Three Days.. on day one, the main character learns that he must wear a stalk of broccoli to school... you will want to ask your child why Milo wants to be perfect....
Look for Box Tops
Read the Math Parent Letter
Work on the elephant challenge.. I told them they could ask for "parental assistance" but please try not to do the whole thing for them (due by Friday)
Please remember to turn in your Class Money to Mrs. Camp


Don't forget that Back to School Night is this Thursday night beginning at 7:00pm in the Janet Root Theater. This is a big night for me to share important information with you that could help you  and in turn help your child throughout the year. There will be much to share, so please try and get to the room as soon as possible after the all school meeting. At that time, I will have some things for  you to take home. The room mothers and dads will also have some things to share with you as well. You may want to begin thinking what event for which you would like to volunteer.  I cannot express how much volunteers are needed to help make the different events fun smoothly for the children and for the teachers. Thank you in advance for all your help!

You will sign up on Thursday night for the Parent Teacher Conference on October 4, 2012. Please remember that whatever time you choose, is the time set for both conferences both in October and February.

Again, I look forward to seeing all of you on Thursday night. Thank you for sending me such lovely children.
