Hello, and welcome back from Fall Break!
I hope everyone had the chance to rest and recuperate – I have certainly noticed less sniffilies in the classroom. Thank you to all who attended Parent Teacher Conferences last week, it was great to meet those I hadn’t met before, get reintroduced to those I met in the whirlwind of the pool party, and visit with those I have met a few times now! I am looking forward to continuing to build on these relationships as we move forward into the school year.
Some things to be aware of heading into week ten:
- Emails for student conferencing have gone out. If you didn’t receive one, or you need it sent again, please contact me. I appreciate you working with me to find a day that works well for these conferences, and I am excited to implement this into my classroom.
- I am working (albeit slower than I would like) on getting all information requested during Parent Teacher conferences out to you. Thank you for your patience.
- This week is Red Ribbon Week! We are going to be doing all sorts of activities from door decorations to essays to listening to guest speakers.
- Friday is Fall Festival. Please see the previous post for more info on that.
- Your child got their spelling words today! Look for those coming home written in planners as well as in sheet form within the next couple of days. As I said in PTC, expect them to have those words for a couple of weeks at a time.
- I am looking for one more volunteer to come and read with a book club in my classroom. The commitment would be 2 times per week, for about a half hour each time. Please email me if you are interested.
Thank you all! As always, any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at lhughes@mariamontessoriacademy.org
Almost forgot!
Suggested IXL for the rest of this month: (PLEASE NOTE!!! I am NOT requiring every unit listed to be completed! This is just a general list of things we have been studying in class that your child can choose from. ONLY 20 MINUTES OF IXL IS REQUIRED PER NIGHT. I don’t want your child to miss out on other things because he or she is on the computer doing IXL.)
