Happy Labor Day Weekend!!!!

We have NO SCHOOL on Monday...or Tuesday.

I will see each of you at your scheduled time on Tuesday to talk about your child's progress so far and their goals for the year.

I look forward to seeing each of you then.

Please bring any questions you have to the meeting so we can be sure to address them at that time.

We HAVE started checking out library books and taking A.R. Tests.

Please be sure to record ANY BOOK your child reads onto their Blue Library sheet. Once they reach 100 books they will get their picture taken and be on the list for a special Library party at the end of the school year.

We had 12 students attend from our class last year (the most I have had Ever). I'd like to top that if possible this year. I will remind you frequently to keep track of it. The Fridge is a great place to keep it.

Our special class this Friday is Library. Mrs. McConnell will do an activity with the kids on this day.

Our Day #1 for Reading/ Language was on Friday. Day #2 is Wed. Day #3 is Thursday and we will combine Day #4/5 on Friday. All Tests will be taken this coming Friday for U.1 W.3 spelling words, language test and reading story quiz. We also have Computer lab. Friday's are very BUSY and are extremely important to attend.

ATTENDANCE...Please send an excuse note within 3 days of your child's absence.

Our new computer system will NOT allow grades to be taken for unexcused absences.

If we take tests on a day your child is absent and that absence is unexcused... your child will receive a 0% on that test.

I am so excited that all our programs are up and running. All initial testing is complete and we have started reading groups. This week we will add our working centers along with groups. Thank you for encouraging your child to do their best and behave (especially during independent work times).

Please ask your child about their time with Mrs. Bush in counseling this past Wed. and then their time with Mrs. Kingsmore for Music this past Friday. They had their first visit with these special classes.

SHAVED ICE is this FRIDAY, Sept. 9th. Send $1.50 with your child ON THAT DAY if they are buying. I cannot hold money ahead of time in my class.

Have a great long weekend.

See you Tuesday.

-Mrs. Mainor
