1.  If you feel like your child is overwhelmed at home with homework, please write a note or phone me or e-mail me. I try to give ample time in class but there can be various reasons why kids take more time. Please communicate so we can have an effective plan that works for everyone.  My main goal is for kids to like/love school, so I do not want them crying at home for homework reasons.  Thank you.

Please note that sometimes  there is difficulty with the server at the school and the blog cannot be written. Therefore, you need to check your child's agenda.  All students must write everything on agenda and put a check
beside things they have completed and an X beside the things they still need to complete.  They also need to write due dates. Some of the students did not follow this procedure and are rewriting some of their agenda in order to learn properly.  Thanks for helping them out and signing agendas!

Thursday, Sept. 5

Yahoo!  Welcome to my class.  I can't wait to communicate with you and teach your child. The agenda should look almost the same as this blog.  Students write out daily homework or expectations at school so they know what to bring home. Parents check blog if for some reason agenda was not able to be written.

Newsletter and plans will be sent home next week.
I take Wednesdays off so Mrs. Kossey will be in teaching SS and Science.
There should not be a lot of homework unless your child really struggles with completing work in class (hence, a plan is developed) or is off task a lot.  I have many expectations in a day at school; students will be mentally tired after school and thus, are not expected to do too much more work.  However, students can always study multiplication facts and read!

We run each morning of the year; if your child cannot run or walk for a period of days, please send a note. 

1.  Bring a black Sharpie and a pencil case or Ziplock bag if possible.
2.  Bring Gym strip and a water bottle for daily use.
3.  STRINGS letter home to gr. 4s today, gr. 5s later.
4.  Office packet due:  Monday.
5.  Agenda: pls sign daily until Oct. 31 and then we will see.  Real agendas to come soon.
6.  Write and study 3 and 4 times tables.
