Weekly Update

Happy Friday!

We had a delightful week in Room 9.  The rain isn't putting a damper on our spirits; with today's Den Rally, we made our own sunshine!  🌞

Important Information About School Pictures:
Fall pictures will be taken this Wednesday, October 3rd.  I sent home information about pictures in last week's Thursday folder.  This will be a day for individual pictures only; a whole-class picture will be taken in the Spring.  Following are some guidelines to help facilitate your picture order / purchase:

  • If possible, please order your child's pictures online.  It's the fastest, easiest, and most convenient way to order your child's pictures.  If you order online, you do not need to send anything to school with your child on Picture Day!
  • If you are not ordering online, please fill out the payment envelope, enclose your payment, and send it to school on picture day.  Your payment envelope must include your child's name, my name, your "look" (or background) selection, your package selection, and your payment.
  • Picture purchase is optional.

Please Sign Up for a Conference!
Parent / Teacher conferences will be held at the end of the first quarter.  I am using Sign Up Genius to schedule conferences.  I sent the Sign Up Genius via email and Remind earlier this week. You can also sign up for a conference time by clicking HERE.  If you are unable to attend a conference on one of the dates / times listed, please send me an email to make alternate arrangements. 

1st Quarter Interim Progress Reports:
1st Quarter Interim Progress Reports ("interims") will be issued Wednesday, October 3rd.  If your child receives an interim, it will be emailed to you on Wednesday, October 3rd using the email address on file in your ParentVue account.  You can update and/or verify your email address by logging into your ParentVue account.  If you are unable to access your ParentVue account, please contact our school office.  (I'm sorry; I'm not able to help you with this - you must contact the office.)

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:
  • Reading:  We will learn good habits for solving hard words. 
  • Writing:  We will begin learning the routines and procedures of Writer's Workshop.
  • Math:  We will finish our patterns and sorting unit. 
  • Social Studies:  We will talk about Christopher Columbus and Columbus Day.
Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.  

Have a wonderful weekend!
