Friday Recap Sept. 7th/2007

We're back to school and what a great week it's been. The students had lots of great stories to share about their summers and are keenly interested to discover new things this year.

There are many letters and handouts going home these days and I appreciate the quick return of these items. Scholastic orders and Owl forms are to be returned by Tuesday. Students are also asked to bring in photos or to e-mail them as an opening photo story for their e-portfolios. These photos may include them with their family or perhaps them doing things of personal interest, such as sports or hobbies.

Students are encouraged to practice some of their math facts this weekend by playing interactive activities such as SKUNK and Multiple Rap with their families. I also encourage parents to read with their children and to discuss the content together. Just a friendly reminder for parents to write a letter to me about how they see their child as a learner and as a person.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and it's great to be back. Please e-mail me if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting everyone at meet the teacher night.
