Check out the "Remind" app


This year I am going to start using the REMIND app.  Please follow the attached directions to get the app and join my class.  Now you can receive classroom updates directly to your phone.  I will send assignments, reminders, photos, etc.  I will also send home a flyer with instructions on how to join -it's quick and easy!

Our first full week is here!


I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful Fall weekend!  
Here are a few reminders to help you and your child plan the week:

1. Math homework is assigned M-Th nights -each night there is a "challenge" component to the homework, which is optional.  I do ask that the kids try the challenge at least once a week.

2. Word Study begins this week.  Tonight the students will bring home the word list and homework assignment.  Their flashcards are due tomorrow and the sentences/pictures are due on Friday.  On Friday the students will be tested on the spelling AND meaning of the words.

3. Reading -it is expected that students read for at least 20 minutes, 4 nights per week (if not more).  

4. Agendas -please sign your child's agenda M-Th nights.  They do not need a signature over the weekend . 

5.  Back to School Night is next Tuesday starting at 6:15 in the cafeteria.  See you then!  

As always, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
