Parents,
Wow! This weekend seemed to slip by so quickly! I hope everyone is back ready and rested for another week of fun and hard work too!
Things to note:
· Book orders went home on Friday. Think about placing an order! If you are interested, book orders due back to me or online by September 21, 2012. Books will be here about beginning of October.
· Birthday/Playdate Address List came home today. If you didn’t send in your address/phone number and still want to…please do!!! If you find an error, please let me know. Also, please put this on your fridge or another place that can be easily accessed. When/if I get updated information, I will be sending home a revised copy to you, and so you will want to toss the old copy when you get the new one. Remember to use this to send party invitations or to create playdates amongst our first grade friends!
· Still working on classroom volunteer info. I will be in touch. =)
· Keep studying the high frequency lists that went home a few weeks ago. Hopefully, most of those words are review from Kindergarten. Our first H.F.W. test will be next Monday, Sept. 17, 2012. (And almost every Monday after that!!) Thank you to Andrea (Kamryn’s mommy) for helping to be my HFW mom! This job is so important to me and to the reading that we will be doing in here. If your child passes the list on this day, they will receive a new list to study and practice for the next test. If your child does not, no worries. They will be able to study and practice this list until they do. Just a reminder that turning these words into flashcards (on index cards or similar) at home could be a fabulous way to practice (they can continue to read all the words that they accrue during the year, paying special attention to the 25 they are trying to pass). If you have questions, please let me know!
· Spelling Lists and spelling tests will begin the week of Sept. 24th. Much more information to come.
