Week of September 24-28

Dear Parents,

Happy Fall!!  I hope everyone is enjoying the change in seasons and the (somewhat) cooler weather that has arrived this weekend! I just want to be in contact with you about a few things happening in our classroom and school.

I am pleased to announce that the Accelerated Reader program is up and running. This program will enable your child to take comprehension tests over the library books that they bring home from school. Because we got a late start these 9 weeks, I am setting a goal of .5 points, which is the equivalent of passing one test with a score of 100%. Attached you will find your child’s password information for Renaissance Place where you can check your child’s progress towards his/her goals. In addition, there is an AR readiness slip for you to send with your child when they are ready to take a test on their book and a space for me to note the child’s score on the test.   AR is a great part of our classroom and I am excited that we are finally able to participate.

Progress reports have been on hold because of our mid-term reports, conferences and the fact that I was out of the classroom part of this past week. They will resume this Friday, September 28^th. Thank you for your patience with this.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to come conference with me about your child’s progress. If you have not come in yet, please let me know when we can meet!

This week the students will be practicing for their music program. The performance will be Friday, September 28 @ 1:00. Hope to see you there!!

Have a great week!

NOTES FROM THE TEACHER

It is so hard to believe that we have finished our first month of school! We have worked very hard on practicing procedures in the classroom and are now focused on the learning that is the reason your child is in school.

I am pleased with the progress that I am seeing with your students. As many of you know, kindergarten requires much more than it has in years past, which is why it is essential that your child comes to school focused and ready to learn. Thank you for all you do to help with this.

This month I will contact you to have our first Parent-Teacher Conference. Please make every effort to attend this. It is important even this early in the year to make sure that you are aware of how your child is doing academically and socially so that he/she can be successful in my room. I will send home available times for these conferences so that you can schedule a time that is convenient for you.

 If you need to contact me, feel free to send a note in your child’s binder, email me strawick@liberty.k12.ga.us or call me during planning (10:30-11:15) or afterschool @912-368-3114.

Happy September!
