Hi Parents,
I hope you have had a great long weekend and a good holiday. Last week we celebrated Sam as our VIP of the week. Sam loves candy. His favorite animal is a tiger, and he likes to go to St. George. We discovered that Sam likes to make Root beer floats using all different combinations of soda and different flavors of ice cream. Thanks to his parents for coming and helping Sam with his Discovery Day. We loved making our own float creations!
This week is a short week with no VIP of the week. On Friday we earned our reward party which my students chose a movie/popcorn party which we will do tomorrow. They were so excited to earn all the stars in the jar for our first reward party. Tomorrow we will also be having our first art time with our parent volunteer Mrs. Sorenson.
This short week we will be reviewing the short /o/ and short /u/ sounds in our language arts. We will add and subtract within 10 in our math unit this week and will work hard to complete our Acadience BOY (Beginning of Year) math testing. We have learned how to do Math Workshop on our own and this week we will start to learn Reading Workshop. I will have my parent hallway volunteers start the week after SEP Conferences (Sept. 22) from 11:20-12:10 to help my students individually with reading on the day they signed up to help.
I’m still hoping to get one more art parent for the 4th week of each month. If this is something you can help with, doing a simple art lesson or craft each month with us, please let me know.
SEP (Student Educator Parent) Conferences will be held on Wednesday, September 17th and on Thursday, September 18th. I have attached a Sign-Up Genius link for you to choose a time to bring your child in for a 10-minute conference to go over beginning of year scores and answer any questions. I have some morning times on both days available if that works best for your schedule. If we need to meet on a different day, just let me know and we can figure out when.
