Progress Reports go home this week!

We have had a great start to this school year, and I am happy to report that all of the students in our class are currently meeting grade level expectations.  I have just finished our Progress Reports and they will be reviewed by our Principal on Monday.  I plan on sending them home with the students on Wednesday.  We do not usually have conferences following Progress Reports, and I do not foresee needing one for anyone in our class, but if any of you have questions or concerns after reading your child's Progress Report, please email me and we can set something up.  Thanks again for all the work you are doing at home to help your child!  I have been very impressed with the homework packets your children have been turning in to me each week.  Happy October Everyone!!

Please submit Book Club orders by Friday 9/21

Just wanted to remind families to return their book orders or make purchases online by this Friday.  Scholastic holds all orders for our class, so that we can pool them together and earn more points for the class.  I use the class points to purchase books for the classroom, or software to use in the classroom with the computers.  I will be submitting our class order after school next Friday at 4pm.  Any orders returned after that will be submitted with the October Book Club purchases.

Great Deals on Headphones...

...hello families,  as you know we are encouraging students to get their own headphones this year, to use in the classroom and at the computer lab.  Some families have mentioned that earbud headphones do not fit comfortably in their children's ears, and traditional headphones can be costly.  This weekend, while doing some shopping with my family, I have found some amazing deals that I wanted to share with you all.  Big Lots in Vacaville had a Labor Day Sale this weekend where headphones were as low as $2.50 (Buy one, get one half off).  You can still pick them up between $5- $10 depending on size/style preference.  Earbud headphones can also be purchased for under $5 at T.J. Maxx here in Cordelia for those that like this style.  I hope this is helpful for those that are still looking for an inexpensive set of headphones for their child.

Homework starts in September!!

I hope you all enjoy your 3-day Labor Day weekend.  Starting on Tuesday your child will have a weekly Homework Packet to complete.  Language Arts, Math, Reading and Writing!!  Your child is expected to do a little each night, then return the work in the red bag on Fridays.  Your children will also get books assigned each week for reading.  Please take care of these books and return them with the homework.  That's probably enough information to get you ready for the first week of homework. I'm looking forward to seeing you all at Back to School Nite next Wednesday!!
