Friday, Sept. 13 - Friday, Sept. 27 - Back to School Donation Drive! (information below)

Friday, Sept. 27 - Noddin Fall Fest.

Dear Noddin Community,

As students have now completely settled into the school routine, they continue to amaze and impress the staff and I with their abilities and strengths - working hard, working together, and enjoying all school at Noddin has to offer!

Students and teachers have begun running their small-groups, reading/writing centers, and differentiated math instruction to meet the needs of every student. This year, you will continue to hear about Guided Reading, Word Work, and the skills and strategies being taught in the classrooms as part of our balanced literacy ELA program. This year, teachers are also launching Writer's Workshop as part of this comprehensive program. Students have opportunities to receive mini-lessons, write about topics of their choosing, conference with their teacher, and share their work with others.

Recently, all Noddin parent/guardian emails and cell phones were added to a Noddin Remind account. Remind will be used to send reminders, updates, and alerts. If you wish to opt-out of receiving messages, please see the information directly below.

There is also lots of information below regarding our Noddin Back to School Donation Drive, the Noddin Fall Festival, and two different parenting class series.

Have a wonderful weekend,

-Mr. Scharer
