Homework

Please be sure your child is reading for at least 20 minutes each day.

Report Cards

Report cards will be coming home prior to Thanksgiving break. 

Grades are given on a 1, 2, 3, 4 scale based on Common Core State Standards.

A 3 is the target.

A  2 indicates they’re moving in the right direction.

A 1 means the child is not yet showing understanding of the standard.

Each standard that you see listed is what the children are expected to

know and be able to do by the END OF THE YEAR. 

Because of this, most children will receive 1s and 2s on their report card

during the first trimester.  If your child has a 1 in an area that is of concern

at this point in the year, I will include details on how we can work together

to ensure understanding. 

Requested Donations

There are some supplies we need over the next few weeks.  If you’re willing to donate any of these things it would be a huge help! 

We need these items by Friday, December 3. 

• Lots of Green yarn-various shades

• small pom-pons

• Tacky glue

• White icing

• Food coloring

• Sprinkles

• Paper towel and toilet paper tubes

We also are running low on napkins, paper towels and communal snacks. Lots of children are forgetting to bring snack on a daily basis or are bringing things that they will not eat.

Please discuss with your child if they have been eating their snack.
