A huge THANK YOU to all of the room parents who helped to make our day special today!!! We really appreciate all of your help! I have uploaded a slideshow of pictures from today!
Have a great evening! I have uploaded the calendar for next week to the website. I can't believe we are already at the end of September!!
Next Tuesday, September 27 is our big day! We will leave for the Kansas Museum of History in Topeka shortly after arriving at school and return about 2:30 pm. If you did not reserve a school sack lunch for your child, please send their home lunch in a disposable sack. Please don't send any glass in their lunch as we are not allowed to take glass on the bus. The kids are getting really excited about going! :) Have a wonderful weekend!! I have uploaded next week's calendar to the website. I was hoping to post some pictures of us at the parade, but due to the weather we were unable to attend.
THANK YOU to all who have already turned in their conference forms!!! If you have not done so yet, please send it in on Monday. The slots are filled on a first come, first served basis. We have been working really hard on learning to be a first grader! I am hopeful that this next week we can have a full week of small group reading instruction with our literacy work stations in place. Your child brought home a book from a group session this week to practice over the weekend. These books should start coming home regularly for the remainder of the year. Please help make sure your child brings their books back the very next day in their homework bag. We will be using them the next day in reading groups. We took our first math test today. We will start learning some subtraction concepts on Monday. After this next chapter, we will begin learning strategies for addition and subtraction. The math will go much smoother and faster after that. :) Thank you to all of you for making sure your student completes and returns their math homework!!! We will begin having homework again next Tuesday. Have a great weekend!!! I have attached the new calendar to the website. I am hoping to start our small reading groups next week. If your child brings home a small book in their homework bag, please have them read it to you for practice. Thank you in advance for listening to them read!! You have no idea how much difference it makes in their progress!!
We had a GREAT Grandparents' Day today at school!! A huge THANK YOU to all of the grandparents for coming and joining us!! I also really appreciate all who helped be a grandparent for those kiddos whose grandparents couldn't make it!! You really helped to make their day special!!! I wanted to remind everyone that if your child wants to order a school sack lunch for our field trip, I need the order form to school by Monday morning. I will be turning in the counts to the kitchen so they can order supplies. Thank you to all who have ordered books from the book order so far!! If anyone else wishes to order, please either place the order online or send it to me by next Friday, September 16. I will complete the order at that time. Next Friday is the Tonganoxie High School Homecoming. We will be riding a bus over to the old building and sit on the sidewalk to watch the parade that afternoon. We are encouraging the kiddos to wear their Tongie shirts or something red if they have it. I hope you all have a great weekend!! Good afternoon!!
I have uploaded the calendar for next week to the website. I can't believe it is already September!! Please note that we will be taking the first spelling test on Wednesday next week. This is because I will be pulling students and doing individual reading assessments on Thursday and a sub will be in the classroom. I don't want the sub to give the spelling test yet - it is still too new. Today your child is bringing home several important notes. First, there is an important yellow note about Grandparents' Day next Friday. It includes a form for grandparents to use as a "ticket" and avoid the sign in. We will be in our classroom for the event. There is also a book order form. If you would like to order any books, please have the money/form to me or have the order placed online by September 16. The classroom code is included in the note with the form. Finally, there is a purple note about our upcoming field trip to the Kansas History Museum in Topeka. This note also includes an order form if your child would like to order a school sack lunch for the trip. All school sack lunch orders must be turned in to school by Monday, September 12 so the kitchen can order supplies. Tonight is PTC Sonic Night!! Come out and support the Tonganoxie Parents Club. They do a lot of great things for TES. All of the money they raise goes directly back to the kids. I will be working from 5:00 - 6:00 pm. I would love to bring you food, ice cream, or a Sonic drink. Hope you all have a fun and safe holiday weekend!! |
