Back to School Night

Thank you to those of you that could make it to Back to School Night. If you weren't able to make it, we did record it. You won't be able to see the part where we show the homework sheet, and discuss it. However, if you have questions about the homework, let me know.

Reminders:

  • Field Trip Donation Link- You can make an online donation, or bring cash on Monday. We ask for $5 a child or $10 a family.

 

Parent Teacher Conferences

We would like to start setting up our fall conferences. Please click on this link to a SignupGenius, to sign up for a virtual or in-person conference. 

 

Homework

Please remember to have kids bring their homework sheet. Our focus for homework this year is to have students reading at night on a daily basis. We would like them to read their “Good Fit” book that they bring back and forth to school. This book should be a book that interests them, or is not too easy, but not too hard. We also have options for kids to work on additional math skills and writing. Students should return their homework sheet every Monday, and it needs to be signed by a parent. We will talk about this more at Back to School Night if you have questions. Please look for the first homework sheet to come home on Monday.  

 

Positivity Project Character Strength:  Open-Mindedness

This week we are learning about open-mindedness.  Open-mindedness is when you like to consider new ideas and try new things.  You examine things from all sides and don’t jump to conclusions. 

 

What we are learning this week!

Math- Introduction to multiplication

Reading- Character Traits

Social Studies- Learning about the Five Themes of Geography in Michigan

Writing- We will continue working on writing a personal narrative
