Notes From Mrs. Chivers-White
Living Materials Request Form
We are preordering animal cards this year. As a grade level, please complete the Living Materials Request Form and submit it to Mrs. Chivers-White by Wednesday, September 16th. This will be the only time that I will be able to order animal cards. The Living Materials Request Form is in Canvas under the Week Ahead Module.
MAP Testing
I appreciate everyone's patience with the new web-based MAP testing. We have experienced several glitches due to system issues; however, I would like to get a HUGE shout out to Ms. Wanda for using her connections to help alleviate some of these technical issues for next week. I will be entering new students into the system over the weekend, so they should be ready to test when they arrive next week.
Progress Reports
Do not forget to send home the District Progress Reports this week in your communication folders (Wednesday).
New Students
If you need any textbooks for your new students, please let me know. I am in the process of ordering more handwriting book; however, I am only able to have one order open with the textbook company at a time. With the consistent enrollment of new students, it is difficult to have these books on hand as soon as the students arrive. Please be patient with me as we wait for the arrival of these materials.
Grades 2-5
I have enrolled you in the Zaner Bloser website with a licence to print materials for your cursive handwriting books. As a part of our adoption, each teacher receives a variety of online materials that will assist in delivering cursive instruction. Teacher materials include access to Digital Resources, FontsOnline Plus, and an eBook version of your Teacher Edition. You should receive an email from Zaner Bloser to access your account.
