In Our Class This Week...

Good afternoon parents and guardians,

Please be sure to check your child's backpack tomorrow and every other day to clean it out. The following items will be going home tomorrow: "I like" writing test, new biweekly homework packet (to stay at home for practice), new RTI/ELD placement form and Second Trimester progress report.
Progress reports DO NOT need to be signed and returned. Also, RTI/ELD is only 30 min per day. If you have any question about your child's placement, please let me know.

Many parents have asked if our class is in need of any items. Here are some items our class can use as our supplies begin to run low:
Baby Wipes
Organic Clorox Wipes
Be sure to check out our Shutterfly page for our latest classroom pictures. If you would like access, please email me for a special invite.

Don't forget to use SMARTYPANTS at home. This new, fun reading program can be accessed at home. All students received their log in information last month. If you have any question, let me know.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me, text back to the reminders I set or stop by the classroom.
