Hello Parents,
I enjoyed meeting many of you at back to school night on Thursday. If you weren’t able to sign up to volunteer, my volunteer in class sign up is linked at the bottom of this email. Any volunteer help is appreciated. Thank you to those parents who have already volunteered their time and donated items to our classroom. Calendar: August 26 – September 12: DIBELS Beginning of Year Testing Window (This is a crucial testing window and we ask that if you know that your student is going to be absent, please let me know. We are testing each student on their reading level and it should only take about 20 minutes per students, but it is helpful to know if any students are going to be absent). August 30: Early out @ 12:45 and Dollar Dress Down Day (Students can pay $1 to wear casual dress or wear uniforms) September 2: Labor Day, No school Literacy: We will be teaching Wonders Smart Start Week 2 this week. I sent home a new reading log with your student today. If you’re student has not turned in last week’s reading log, please remind them to turn that in as soon as possible. Please read with your student at least 20 minutes every night and write the book title and how many minutes you read per night. The reading log will need to be signed and returned every Friday. After our three weeks of Start Smart, I will begin sending home spelling lists and spelling homework every week in addition to the reading logs. August 26 - September 12 will be our DIBELS Beginning of Year testing window as I mentioned before. This is a crucial testing window and we ask that if you know that your student is going to be absent, please let me know.

If you are interested in volunteering during literacy, I have a link to a sign up at the bottom of this email. I am looking for two parents to coming Monday, Tuesday – Friday 9:30-10:40. One parent will be helping a group in the class with their practice book pages, and the other parent will be reading fluency sentences with one student at a time in the hall. The sign up asks for two people every Monday, every Wednesday, etc. so we can have a consistency with volunteers and the routines. Although I am willing to be flexible. If there is a week that you aren’t able to come in, please let me know and then I will send out an email to all literacy parents asking for a one-time volunteer that week. Math: We are starting Chapter 1: Addition Concepts this week. We took a pretest today and will start with lesson 1 tomorrow. I will start sending homework home every night with my students and that will need to be turned in the next day. I will send a schedule of what our week will tentatively look like. Monday: Chapter 1 Pretest Tuesday: Lesson 1: Addition Stories Wednesday: Lesson 2: Model Addition Thursday: Lesson 3: Addition Number Sentences Friday: Lesson 4: Add 0 If you are interested in volunteering during math, I have a link to a sign up at the bottom of this email.

Homeroom: We will be continuing our get to know you activities this week and building our classroom community. I am still look for someone who is interested in being my class captain for the year. As class captain you will organize class parties for holidays, may coordinate volunteer opportunities, ask parents for donations, coordinate teacher appreciation activities, and any other things I may need done throughout the year. Most of the responsibilities of a class captain can be done at home. If you are interested in being my Homeroom Class Captain, please email me and let me know. Thank you all for your support that I have seen already. I can already tell that this is going to be a great year! Please email me if you have any questions or concerns.
