Dear Parents,
Thank you for joining us on Wednesday night for our Back to School
night presentation. It was great to meet so many of you. If you were not able to
attend, your child should have brought you my back to school letter and survey
in their Friday folder today. Please look it over and let me know if you have any
questions. Also, please pay your classroom fee of $8 if you have not done so.
This money helps us support many projects that extend our learning in the classroom.

Math: This week we were able to get all the math screeners completed.
This information gives me a snapshot of where your child is in math. We are now ready

Literacy: This week we worked on writing “seeds/small moment ideas” for personal
narratives. We are getting those writing muscles warmed up and in shape for a lot of
writing this year! Next week we are going to start working on understanding and writing
complete sentences.Students also worked on completing a reading assessment
using i-Ready. We started using this reading assessment a few years ago Kohl, so
your child should be familiar with the format. After the testing is complete I will have an
assessment report, which shows me how your child is reading, their strengths, and areas
to work on. I will share this information with you at Parent Teacher Conferences in October.
