Week of November 20th

Reminders:

·      I would like to formally invite all parents and/or guardians to a Family Pie afternoon!  As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches I would like to spend some time with one another as we celebrate this great classroom community.   I will be providing pies for us all.  Please R.S.V.P. using the following link so I can purchase as many pies as possible.  There are a few other items I will be looking for, if you can sign up to bring something please do! Also, I would like the room to be as comfortable as possible and would like to provide enough for everyone to eat so I ask that siblings do not join. Thanks!


·      No Homework!

·      November’s Core Value will be CARING.  We have been working hard while showing empathy, compassion and being overall good people.  I am looking for caring actions that take the feelings and concerns of others in mind. 

·      THANK YOU parents who took the time to attend our Parent University night! I believe it was beneficial to talk about how your child is doing in the areas of reading and math.  There was also data available to show you where exactly your child falls in those categories in comparison to the class.  If you missed Parent University I will be sending home the folders made on Monday. There are 3 graphs in the folder:

o   Oral Reading Fluency Graph- Explaining how many words in one minute your child read with ease.
o   High Frequency Word Graph- How many words your child knows out of the first 100. They are expected to know the first 100 by the end of the year.
o   Math Computation Graph- How well your child can complete addition and subtraction sentences in 8 minutes.

To check your child’s score, look inside the folder for a number, that is the number that is assigned to your child and their progress on all 3 graphs. 
Any questions, feel free to pop in before or after school!

Save the Dates:
·      Monday, November 20th- Family Pie Afternoon @2:30!
·      No school November 22nd-24th. Happy Thanksgiving!
