Wednesday Folder

Hello parents! It's Wednesday and that means that those green folders will be coming home today! In those folders will be the Place Value math assessments that have been taken and graded. If your child did not score over a 70, they were given the opportunity to redo the questions that they missed. I took the average from the original score and the score after the corrections to come up with a new grade. If you have any questions about your child's grade, please text me, email me or call me!

Chat soon!

I guess too much fun this weekend and that flu bug going around finally got me! So sorry that I missed today and I hope that your kiddos came home with their homework packet today. There will be one more page (front and back) sent home tomorrow that will need to be completed by Friday as well. I did not send home reading logs today, but they will be coming home tomorrow as well. Please make sure that your child does read this evening for 20 minutes! I am hoping that I can shake whatever I have and be back in the classroom tomorrow.

Any questions or concerns...do not hesitate to call, text, or email!

Earning Points

As you know, your child has the opportunity to earn 25 points a week, which breaks down to 5 points a day. There are five blocks during the school day in which your child may earn a point. First block: 0825-1000, Second Block: 1000-1115, Third Block: 1115-105, Fourth Block: 105-240, and Fifth Block: 240-325. If you child has to be redirected at any of these times, they may not earn their block point. At the end of ever month, we will have a block party. The students must earn a certain number of points each month to attend the block party. I will not reveal to the students how many points because I want them working hard everyday, not just hard enough to earn enough points for the block party. I will or your child will write the number of points that they earn each day into their planner. In the classroom, each child has a folder with sheets in it for every week of the month. They mark down happy faces when they earn their points and when they do not earn their point, I will write the reason why they did not earn the point. I will send home these sheets at the end of every month. Due to the fact that I have started these folders, there will no longer be a sheet for you to sign in the Wednesday folder.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

Homework for the week of October 11

Your child will be coming home with a packet of work tomorrow. This packet is due on Friday. Your child may finish the work however they would like (all in one day or throughout the week), but please have them only return it on Friday! This packet is in addition to the home reading log and practicing their multiplication (at least 10 minutes a night please!). The HRL is 20 minutes of reading (20 minutes is the minimum please) and a summary. Please remind your child that a summary is not one sentence. A summary for the HRL is 4-5 sentences.

Also, please check planners daily and sign both the planner and HRL. This just lets me know that you are looking at your childs planner!

Thanks so much for all the support. Please do not hesitate to call, write a note, text, schedule a conference, etc. if you have ANY questions or concerns! I am enjoying your children and excited to watch them grow!
