Hello Families,
In light of our recent tragic event, I am eager to express to each of you and to your children how grateful I am to be working with you. It is impossible to work so closely with your sweet ones without loving them. Thank you for sharing them with me.
Our school has a newsletter that goes out weekly to update parents. Here is the link to the most recent one. If you have not been receiving them, your email address may need to be updated. To do so, please contact the front office.
As a classroom community, we have decided on the expectations during our morning meeting and lessons. The students decided that if those expectations aren’t followed, the teacher will:
- Give a warning
- Ask the student to move (in the form of a tug on the ear and a pointed look at the student)
- Ask the student to bring a chair to sit in
- Invite the student to fill out a reflection sheet and send home an email to parents. The reflection sheet will go home to be signed by the parents.
If you would like your child to access Imagine Learning from home, please contact me and I will send you their SSID number. For returning students, it is the same number as last year.
The students have been working with spelling lists for the last 2 weeks. We will test them on words tomorrow. I apologize for not posting this list sooner, however, they have had considerable practice in class. Your students are familiar with the color of the group they are in, and their spelling groups is also listed on their progress reports.
