New Friends!
August 25, 2010
A new year has begun in 1A! How exciting! We welcome two new students to our class as well as Marshall Elementary: Tristan Wilson and Kaydin Biering. We have 10 boys and 8 girls and we are AWESOME!
Next week we will begin our first hardback Reading book and our first Spelling unit. Each week we will read two stories from our reading book. The books will come home every night (M-Th) in a plastic book baggie. Please have your child read only the stories for the week or ones that we have read previously. DO NOT READ AHEAD! :-) Reading books and borrowed books from our classroom must be transported to and from school in the book baggie. This not only helps to protect them, but it also keeps them clean!
Next week the students will be bringing home the first Scholastic book and software flyers. There are many affordable and educational books and games each month. Orders may be placed online or using the paper order forms with each flyer. I hope you will take a few minutes to look through the Scholastic material each month.
Our first Zero My Hero day is Monday, August 30th! Be sure to ask your child who Zero is and why we celebrate special days with Zero! :-)
We are off to a great start and I am looking forward to working with each of you this year. Always feel free to call or contact me at school or at home. E-mails are great, but if the information is of a timely nature, it would be best to call me. I don't always have time to check my e-mail continually throughout the day.
Thank You!
