Hello! I hope you've all had a great week. Friday folders came home today with class information. I will post that information below, in the event that you might need it and can't find your paper copy. Also, here are a few photos from our first few days. I've greatly enjoyed getting to know these kiddos, they are a wonderful group of kids! Have a great weekend.
Parent Communication/ Elementary News
· Usually a classroom note will be sent home on Fridays. Each Friday
students will bring home their Friday baggie. Please return the baggie to
school each Monday.
· Each week Lori Arnold does a great job updating the Washington
Elementary news website. Please check out the ES News page from time to time.
Spelling
·
New spelling lists will
go home on Mondays. Students will take a pretest on Friday to determine their
new list for the following week. Post-tests will be taken on Fridays.
Homework
· Students
will have a bit of homework each week. Homework will come home on Monday, and needs
to be returned to school on Friday. Please
check the homework folder every Monday. There will most always be spelling
homework for the week. Additionally, part of your child's homework is to read
15-20 minutes several nights a week, if possible. Occasionally there will be
special assignments/projects.
Snack (optional)
· Third graders eat lunch at 12:35 each day, this is a long time after most students
have eaten breakfast. Students in our classroom will be allowed to bring an
individual snack (granola bar, piece of fruit, crackers, etc.) to be eaten in
the morning. This snack is completely optional and will not be provided by the
school.
Other Information
Birthdays
· You are welcome to send treats for birthdays; we currently have 23
students in our classroom. We do have several tree nut allergies in our room.
Prepackaged snacks are preferred, so we can see the list of ingredients.
Current Events
·
Each week we will cover
and discuss current events through Scholastic News (a mini “newspaper” for
students to read and discuss together). You are welcome and encouraged to help
your child find news items of interest to bring in to share with the class, if
you’d like from time to time.
