Dear Families,
We made it through our first full week of school! The kids did a great job but I could tell we were a little extra tired today! I hope everyone has a wonderful and restful weekend. :)
IMPORTANT NOTES
Map Testing: We will be taking our MAP Test on Tuesday, September 19. This is a test on the computer that measures your child’s academic growth throughout the year.
Book Bags: Hopefully your child has brought home their book bag this week and read the book inside. It is your child’s responsibility to pack their book bag each day with a “just right” book from their bin. If the book seems easy, they may have practiced it a lot during reading that day. If it seems hard, they may have chosen a book they have not practiced yet. In your child’s Friday Home Folder tonight you will find one of our reading strategy charts that we have been working on in workshop! These are helpful phrases to help remind your reader of good habits that we work on in class.
As mentioned at Parent/Guardian Night, books should be returned every school day. I completely understand that some days you may need more than a day with a book or you just forget and that is completely fine!
Field Trips: The school pay link for first grade field trips is ready! Please click here to provide payment of $32 for your child’s field trips this school year. If you are unable to pay this school year please email me.
