Important Reminders!
-Today, I am sending home login information for RAZ Kids, please let me know if your child has any difficulty logging onto the site. I assigned each student a starting reading level based on previous data; however, this level might change as I assess students during the first month of school.
-We are starting to focus on basic addition and subtraction facts to twenty. Please help your child review at home! You can get cheap flashcards at the Dollar Store, or even verbally quiz your child on facts (i.e. What’s 7 + 4?)
-Scholastic- due Friday, September 22. Scholastic is doing a special offer this month and if we order $50 worth of books EACH child gets a FREE Bad Guys book (they love this series!)
-Please check your child’s red communication folder daily. Clear out completed/graded papers. Check for homework sheets and any other important information that may require payment or a parent signature. This folder goes to and from school/home each day.
Let’s have a great week!
