Marvelous Monday

Hi! We had a great day today. It was our first day of officially switching classes for Math and Reading. It was a busy day and so I forgot to send home today's newsletter full of important information! Look for it in your child's binder tomorrow, but here's a preview of what you'll see:

Welcome back! We had a great first week getting to know one another. Today we started our regular routine which included switching classes for Reading and Math.

            Please note that we will not be giving spelling tests this year. We WILL be studying words throughout the week and practicing the associated skills, but we will NOT be giving a weekly test over those words.

            Please note that we are using a web-based behavior system in our class that will send a weekly report of your child’s behavior directly to your email. To do this, I must have your updated email address. If you have not yet given me this information, please do so as soon as possible. If you do not have email access, please let me know that as well so that I can send you a printed copy of your child’s behavior report each week.

            Other ways to stay in tune with what’s happening in our room is to follow our classroom blog: www.sgefredericks.blogspot.com. You can also sign up for text updates (which is handy when I forget to tell the students something before they leave!) that will come directly to your phone. To do this, simply text @499b to 502-603-6005. These are mass texts sent through a program called Remind 101.

(There is a separate number if your child is a third grader in my READING class which was sent home with those students today).

            Finally, please turn in all important forms as soon as possible. Several room fees still need to be paid as well. The fee is $20 and checks can be made out to Stamping Ground Elementary. Thanks to all of you who have already done this!

Yellow Communication Folders came home today and you can look for these every Monday. This is where you'll find information that the school sends out along with graded papers (and usually, a newsletter!). I also included a Book Order. If you'd like to order any books from this order, please fill out the form on the back and send it in with a check made out to Scholastic by August 23rd. I will try to send one of these home approximately once a month.

For homework tonight:
3rd Grade: Reading Log (be sure to sign) and Study for DR Quiz on Friday (over Week 1)
*Ms. Fryman's Reading Class only is to read "Boom Town" for homework (which will count for their Reading Log) and to complete the Spelling Sort page 1.

2nd Grade: Math worksheet over Even & Odd Numbers

Have a great night and stay dry!
