Week of October 8, 2012
Dear Parents,
I hope all of you enjoyed the festival. It is a
great family event!
SCARECROWS: We will be making our scarecrows this
Friday. Please send in all the supplies on Thursday. See the enclosed list of
scarecrow supplies. Please send in extra newspaper if you have it. We always
seem to run short.
Here is an overview of this week:
Religion: Our topic will be “God Wants Us To
Celebrate His Love.”
Math: We will be talking about the meaning of
above, below, & beside.
Animal of the Week: Deer
SRA: We will be introducing another High
Frequency Word___the. Please make flashcards with ___a and ___the on them and
have your child read them every day. We will also be talking about first,
middle and last and learning the meaning of “characters” in books.
SCHOOL TARDIES
“We have a growing number of students who are being
marked “tardy” on a regular basis. Tardiness is defined as any student arriving
to school after 7:50 A.M. The administration has stressed many times the importance
of regular and prompt attendance so that your children can receive the maximum
benefits from daily sequential instruction. Our teachers are most anxious to have
all of the students present and ready to learn at the beginning of each day. It
is difficult to conduct a lesson when students consistently arrive late. This
is not only a disruption of the lesson; it is also a disservice to the other
students who arrive at school on time. If there are extenuating circumstances
of which the school is not aware, please feel free to inform your child’s teacher.
Continued failure to adequately address the problem of tardiness at this point could
lead to a meeting with the administration, the parents and the respective
teachers to discuss possible solutions for the situation. Thank you for your
attention to this important matter.”

Choosing the perfect book for themselves

more. When you place your order online,
you’ll help earn Free Books for our class and get a $5 Free Book Pick for your
next Scholastic Book Clubs online order!
Thank you for helping your child’s love of reading grow!
