Update September 3rd

-
Hello Wonderful Families,

Welcome to our classroom blog. This blog will be updated weekly with announcements, homework, and spelling and vocabulary lists for the week.

Remember, there is NO SCHOOL this Monday, September 2nd for Labor Day. Enjoy your three day weekend, and I’ll see you all on Tuesday!
Parent volunteers will start this week. A parent square went out last week for our first month of sign ups. If you signed up for a spot please remember that you are responsible for that slot for the entire month of September. I know life happens so if you ever can’t make it, just let me know. If you didn’t get a slot this month, don’t worry there will be more opportunities soon.  Please make sure that if you are signed up, that you have turned in your Megan's law form to the office.
If your kiddos are struggling with their math homework, you can download an app called “Bounce Pages”. You can use the app to scan the homework page and it will play a brief instructional video to help explain the strategy.
I will be sending home an assessment log on Tuesday. This will show students scores for any assessments that were taken this month. This will need to be signed and returned as soon as possible.

 Picture day will be this coming Thursday, September 5th.  We will NOT have PE that day.
