During the past week of school, your children took numerous assessments that will help Ms. Kari and I design instructional groups that will best serve the students in our class.   We learned a lot about starting points for your kids, as well as areas for whole class review.

This coming week the entire elementary begins specials rotations.  In addition to specials, our class will be participating in shared science with Ms. Kirsten and Mr. John.   I’m sharing the schedule here so that you know where your child will be at any given time during the week.

Class Expectations –  Please remember to review your child’s planner with them each night.  Your signature indicates you have reviewed their day.  Set up a routine at home to review your student’s work and learning for the day.  This is the easiest way to understand what they are (or are not) doing each day.   I do check planners each morning for your signature.

Upcoming events: Don’t forget, Back to School night is Thursday, September 13.

Have a fabulous long weekend!
