Homework and Track Out

What does my child need to work on over track out?
While I do not pass out track out folders with work, I do expect for each child to practice reading, writing, and math skills over the break. In reading, your child should continue strengthening his/her decoding skills and work on retelling stories. Students should be able to tell the setting, characters, events (including beginning, middle, and end), and author’s purpose. Students should also be able to make connections to stories read and tell the problem/solution if it applies to the story read. In writing, students should be able to use correct capitalization/punctuation and spell sight words correctly. We have been writing on lined notebook paper and I would like to see students begin to write on this paper correctly. I am encouraging students to write their letters smaller and try to fit more words on one line, but still continue to space correctly between words. In math, students are encouraged to continue strengthening problem solving skills and work on adding and subtracting fluently.

Share time

FYI: The students have enjoyed having share time during our snack. We have had a wonderful opportunity to learn about what our classmates are interested in. Once we track back in, we will continue to have our scheduled snack time, but we will not continue to have our daily share time.

Volunteers for Field Trip

If you are interested in attending the field trip with us on Tuesday, you must be an approved Wake County volunteer. All volunteers must have filled out an application and been approved this school year in order to attend. Please let me know as soon as possible if you have been approved and plan to attend. At this point, I am aware that Mrs. Pettaris and Mrs. Dixon are planning to join us. If you plan to join us, you will need to drive your own vehicle or carpool to meet us there. You are also welcome to follow the bus from school. Thanks so much!

Fun Run

We had a great time at the annual Fun Run today! Our class averaged running 5-6 laps per student-WOW! If your child has received any donations for this event, please send in the money as soon as possible. Your child received a certificate from the Fun Run that indicates how many laps he/she ran. Thank you for helping to support our school!

Conferences

Reminder: We have our first quarter conferences coming up. Please arrive on time and please let me know in advance if you are not going to be able to attend our scheduled conference. Thank you!

November Scholastic Orders

I have placed the Scholastic order forms for November in your child's Friday folder. If you would like to purchase books, please send the order form and money back to school by Friday October 22nd. I will place the order over track out. Check or cash (exact amount) will be accepted. Thank you!
