Learning Goals...
Reading and Writing
This week during Reader's Workshop, we will review the different strategies for monitoring our comprehension such as making connections, stop and review, drawing conclusions, activating our schema and asking questions.
In addition, we will be working through the writing process with a narrative composition. These will be showcased on our first boards of the year.
Math
Science
STEM Friday
Due to our assembly with Rowdy this Friday, we will not be having STEM Friday. Next Friday is the end of the six weeks and our Boot Scootin' Celebration. STEM Friday will return October 9th.
Electronic Devices
At this time, there is no educational need for our students to bring in any electronic devices. We ask that if your child has a personal cell phone that they have them turned off during school hours. Students will be reminded to turn off their devices if they have them on. However, continued use after reminders could result in the cell phone or device being taken up by a teacher. You will be notified in advance if devices are allowed.
REMIND
To join Remind, simply Text to 81010 the correct unique class code. (ex. @abbotta)

Parent Conferences
It's time for Parent Conferences... Look for an email from your child's teacher with a way to sign up. We look forward to seeing everyone.
Ride Changes/Absences
If you need to change the way that your child gets home, please email Mrs. Jaggars before 2:00 pm.
All emails must include child's name, homeroom teacher and date/dates the change is to be effective.
Also, if your child will be absent or was absent, please send in a note stating the reason why. You can send it directly to Mrs. Jaggars if you like.
