School Supplies!

Here are the supplies for the 2015-2016 school year.  Please feel free to use supplies you still have from last year if they are in good shape.  The students will be keeping their own supplies. Please label everything with your child’s first and last names.  The binder should be labeled on the spine.  It is helpful if supplies are unpackaged before the students bring them to school.  The dividers and page protectors can be put into the binder.  The pencils, scissors, etc. can be put into the pencil box.  If you are unable to get these supplies, please let me know.  Thank you for your support!

Summer Slide

Hello!

I hope that you are all having an amazing summer!  I don’t know about you, but it is going way too fast for me.  I hope to have a school supply list up soon so you can start preparing for the next school year.  I have already seen some sales here and there.  Also, don’t forget about the upcoming pool party at North Shore on August 4th.  I hope to see all of you there!

I just wanted to remind everyone to try to do all they can to avoid the summer slide!  Students lose a lot of knowledge when they don’t practice over the summer.  Please be sure your children are reading this summer.  I have been monitoring IXL and have only seen 3 or 4 students log in and practice their math skills.  Even 30 minutes a week would be so helpful!  Also, please encourage your children to write this summer.  Writing in a journal or writing letters to friends or family members would be great practice!

Enjoy the rest of your summer.  I look forward to seeing you in a few weeks!
