Grandparents' Day

We will have our Grandparents' Day breakfast on Thursday, September 7th. Hope to see you all there! Please sign and return your child's permission slip for VFW fingerprinting. If you need a new form, just send me a note and I'll get one to you. Thanks!

First Week

Yay! We survived our first full week. I am excited to say that we had a great first week. Thank you for all of your support. I appreciate it so much. Please begin to practice sight words with your child. The first five sight words is where we will start next week. We will begin to learn five at a time. Learning sight words allows your child to build their reading fluency. We will practice in the classroom, but continue practicing at home. The more exposure to the words is better for your child.

Thank you again!! See you all Monday!!

Graduation

 

Graduation is Thursday at 9 a.m. at the Junior High auditorium.  You can check your child out afterwards. Please return the gown before you leave with your child. I will have your child's official diploma. You will receive it when you sign your child out.

Missing Newsletter

I am sorry that I didn't send out a newsletter last week. We were so busy due to the book fair and concert that I was unable to get one out to you. Report cards were sent home Friday. If you have questions, please let me know. I would be happy to discuss the results with you.

Upcoming Events

I hope everyone had a happy and fantastic spring break! We have several events that are occurring this week. Tomorrow, we will be going to the Stephen Fite concert in Gilmer. We will go to the concert and come back to campus for lunch. Afterwards, our class will be having a fun day. I think a movie and popcorn are a must have for tomorrow. On Thursday, students that bring money will be attending the book fair. On Friday, report cards will be sent home. This week is super busy, but all these events are so much fun.

Sight Word Testing

I started to test the students on their sight words today. I tested them on all three lists. I will send home a list of the words missed next Tuesday, so that you can work with your child on them. I will retest right before report cards go out. This allows each kiddo plenty of time to practice.
