Dear Parents,

Thank you for getting your child to school today prepared after our unexpected vacation. We were able to assemble our spheres in class today. They look just awesome hung in the classroom.

Your child has math homework this week. They will be writing a short (three paragraph) biography of themselves. I'm attaching a copy for you in case they can't find it. The Mathography is due this Thursday. Your child will also have their first math test this week. This test will include the content that we've covered in our Daily Math Practice work. They will bring the first two weeks home on Thursday. Please study the problems from these first two weeks with them. I will give them a ten question quiz.

We are on an EARLY RELEASE schedule this Wednesday. Car Riders and Extended are released at 1:30. Bus riders are released by 2pm. Our lunch is also a half hour earlier (12:00). Although these days are shorter we still have a full schedule and expect your child to attend.

A reminder from Mrs. Robertson to use the paper plates to identify your car rider. Place your child's name and grade level on the paper plate and place it in your front right window.

Our Million Word Reading Kickoff is this Friday. Your child will be expected to read at least 25 books this year. 125 pages is considered one book. Readers are Leaders.

Mrs. Norton would like your child to read for at least 20 minutes each evening. They should be reading from the chapter book that was assigned in class. Have them read to you!

Your child should have all of their paperwork and supplies in at this time. I'm so impressed with how together they all are so early in the year.

Your partners in education,
Michelle Goethe & Lara Norton
