Reminder costumes may not be worn to school on Halloween. We are only allowed one party per year and I have chosen to have a Valentine's Day party this year.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are noon dismissal days due to Parent Teacher Conferences. Please contact me or call the office if you need to switch your conference time. I am looking forward to sharing all the great things your child has accomplished so far!
Report cards go home on Tuesday. Please remember report cards are not like they used to be. They are now a standards based progress report. This means we look at the full year expectations and report where your child is currently. However, in the reading categories we look at the current quarter's reading level expectations and report based on those reading levels. There will be many 1s and 2s on your child's report card. This is perfectly normal. A 3 is our goal for the end of the year. A 1 does not necessarily mean your child is not where they should be academically. Information writing will be blank because I have not taught that yet. We will go over your child's report card during conferences and visit more on how your child was assessed. Be proud of their accomplishments!
We are starting unit 2 in our reading series. The first week focuses on jobs in the community. We will be reading lots of different texts about community jobs and even using PebbleGo to research jobs.
We are taking a break from opinion writing this week and will be starting informational writing. We will start out by writing how-to books.
In math, we will continue to work on number bonds and subtraction. We will work on finding the missing part in an equation and introduce fact families.
See you at conferences!
Mrs. Dimock
