Can you believe the first quarter is almost over? We are starting this week with NECAP testing Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The kids are reminded to get a good night's sleep and have a healthy breakfast to prepare.
Coming today is a sign up sheet for conferences next week. I have also attached some homework for you to do regarding your child's learning. Please return both of these as soon as possible. I will send home a confirmation on Monday, at the latest, with your conference time.
Our class has been focusing a lot on respectful behavior. We continue to have class conversations and reminders about what respect looks like. Please ask your child if they can give examples of what a respectful student would look like in action.
We start swimming next week! The kids are really excited. Please remember to send your child with a swimsuit and towel on Tuesdays.
We had an author come in last week to share a draft of her book. I was very impressed with the kids' attentiveness and thoughtful questions! It was great for them to see authentic writing and the process a writer goes through.
Ms. Phelps has arranged for community readers to come in once a month and read. We have a male reader coming in for the boys and a female reader coming in for the girls. We did this last year and it was great to see the kids involved in reading with a community member.
Please check out our classroom website for specific information on what we're doing in each subject area. Our daily homework is also listed.
I look forward to seeing all of you next week!
