January 2017
Greetings Families!
I hope you all have had a great start to the new year! We sure have been busy since coming back after break! As you know 2nd Quarter has ended today (Jan. 23rd) and 3rd Quarter is just starting! I can't believe the first half of the year is over! I'm sure you are eager to discuss your child's progress so far this year, so if you haven't signed up for a conference please do! If you need a conference sign up sheet sent home, please email me and I will get one to you in your child's Thursday Folder. It is required by CMS that we have a parent-teacher conference with every parent for 2nd Quarter!
This is the time of the year where you will really start to see your child grow! I tell parents every year, something magical happens over the Winter Break and many students make a TON of growth in reading. With that in mind, please continue to read every night with your child and practice their sight words!
We are all very excited about our upcoming field trip to ImagiOn. If you are a chaperone attending the field trip (only if you turned in the interest form before Winter Break and are a cleared volunteer by CMS) you can meet us there. Thanks in advance for all your help!
Kindergarten classroom awards are scheduled for Tuesday January 31st at 8:30. First Quarter all students received an award, however, starting 2nd Quarter and beyond only a few students per quarter will be given a reward. All students will earn an award by the end of the year!
Many parents have asked about Razz kids. I will be sending home login information Thursday Folders. The papers have all the information that I think you'll need! Additionally, your child may be able help you since we've starting using it in class.
Don't forget STEAM night, this Thursday January 26th! We will be working on a project in our classroom!
That is all for now! As always, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Greetings Families!
First, I want to say thank you to all the parents who welcomed me with open arms. I know your children have gone through a lot of transitions with the start off their schooling experience, but they have transitioned beautifully upon my return. I am so thankful for the support of my team and Ms. Miller who was an integral part of the consistency that they recieved while I was out. My goal this year is to update this bi-weekly with important school and class information.
Below you will find some upcoming events and information! I hope each of you have a WONDERFUL Christmas/Winter Holiday break! Please review sight words and read as much as you can over the break!
I look forward to the start of the new year with your child!
