Can you believe this is our last week in September?! The kids did a great job taking their first tests last Friday. Before we took the tests I told them that the important thing is not that you get a 100 on every test. I explained to them that as along as they studied and tried their best that I will be proud of them no matter what they score!
We also started setting up our reading and math centers last week and will continue to practice them this week. Centers are a great way to reinforce skills, promote cooperative learning and are fun for the kids! Most importantly, they allow me to work with small groups. Check out some pictures below of the kids working in their center groups!
Here are your reminders for the week:
- The Star Student schedule for the year was sent home today. I will send home the a folder with directions the week prior to your child's week. Please let me know if you have any questions.
- We will have a Religion test on Chapter 1 on Wednesday. A study guide will be sent home tonight for you to review with your child.
- Test folders will be sent home on Tuesday. Please sign each test and return on Wednesday.
- Your child's Think Central username and password will be sent home today as well. This provides access to our reader online as well as some other activities.
- Our field trip to Highland Orchards has been booked for Monday, October 28th! Permission forms will be sent home in the coming weeks! I will need 5 chaperones. If you are interested please send me an email and make sure you have all of your clearances.
Have a great week!
