This will be my last newsletter until 2011. Have a wonderful Christmas break! If you are wondering what to tell Santa to bring your child in their stockings, school supplies would be wonderful! We especially need glue sticks, pencils, and little erasers for pencils.
I sent home a printout of your child's grades today. They are in their folder or backpack. Please check over their grades and let me know if you have any concerns. I printed out both quarters accidentally, so mostly look over the grades on the second page, starting mid-October. I can't stress enough the importance of reading nightly and helping your child with their math homework. Our math is getting harder and some students need that extra one-on-one attention that homework provides. Please read over the holiday! When we come back from the break the children will be given the Dibels test and it will really help if you continue reading at home with your child. Take-home books will be given through Wednesday only of this week and will resume when we start up again on January 3.
I sent home another Christmas poem today. Please practice this nightly, and return the journal on Friday. Last week, I had several students again forget to bring their poetry journal back on Friday, and some I could tell, did not practice their poems at all. These performances really help with fluency like I mentioned last week. If your child does not bring their poetry journal, and cannot remember the poem that they should have practiced they may have to sit out on a performance.
We are still in need of graham crackers and candy to decorate our Gingerbread houses. We will be creating our Gingerbread houses on Thursday morning (Dec. 16) at 10:30. If you could please donate something I would so appreciate it.
Thanks so much for those who have helped out in my classroom. I appreciate your help and reliability. Have a very Merry Christmas!
