Thank you for the conversations already had at Parent/Teacher Conferences, and those still to come next week. I TRULY do value partnering with you to do the job assigned to us of growing these kids in the grace and knowledge of our Savior! This is BIG work we do, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. It was so affirming to me to sit with you and be able to celebrate these kids that God has put in our care. Thanks so much for all your support!
Recorders - Just a reminder to be sure to tend to the green note that came home on Thursday regarding ordering a recorder for music class. Mrs. Reitman needs those orders back by the Monday right after break, Oct. 19. Feel free to send it in sooner if you're worried about forgetting it - your child can give it to me for safe keeping. Thanks for your help!
Reading Forts - Tuesday afternoon sounds like a perfect time to enjoy some reading in forts - please send along a sheet or lightweight blanket to aide in our construction process. Each child may also take EITHER a pillow OR a stuffed animal that is no larger than their backpack. Thank you!
Scheduling - Please remember that there is no school for the students on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday while the teachers spend time learning together at the Great Lakes Unity Conference. I hope you enjoy some extra family time together over the break.
Homework - Due to the abbreviated week next week, I will not be sending out new reading and math minutes, and we will not have a word work test either (although I will send the new list home on Monday and you can have it in your possession for two weeks prior to our next test on October 23). Please do encourage your child to keep the facts fresh, and to keep reading a bit everyday anyway, even though they do not have to record their time. Expect those things to resume on Monday, October 19.
THINK! Energy - On Friday we had our Think! Energy with SEMCO program and your student brought home a free energy efficiency kit to help you save energy and water unless you opted out.
Please install the items you need and give things you cannot use to a friend or family member. There are installation instructions inside the kit. (If it were me, I would scan the QR code for videos rather than reading the instructions.😉)
Help us earn funds for classroom supplies by doing a short survey called the Home Energy Worksheet (HEW) used to improve the program. Please complete the HEW by Friday, Oct. 23 by returning the paper to me or completing it online at https://thinkenergy.org/semco/
hew with my ID number: 327691.
No kit? If you opted out of taking a kit, you can still benefit from the program. Do the energy audit from the program website at https://thinkenergy.org/semco/
PICTURE RETAKE DAY - If your child missed the first picture day, or you are unhappy with the first round of pictures, plan for retakes first thing on Monday morning, October 19 (that's the first day back after break)! Old picture packets need to be returned that day if you are doing retakes.
