Important Reminders
- Upcoming events: Our fall fundraiser is due on Friday, September 9. Let me or PTA know if you have questions. Also, there is no school on Monday, Sept. 5 for Labor Day.
- Each night, the white folder will come home with your child, along with their agenda. The agenda will have homework assignments and spelling words written in it. The folder will have the actual homework papers and any other important papers to take home or to return to school. Thank you in advance for your help and cooperation in checking your child's folder and planner EVERY night, and also returning it to school daily.
- This is a reminder to please sign up for Class Dojo - it is a free app and website. This is the main way I will be communicating with parents/guardians this year about their child's behavior, as well as any important reminders from school. The code went home with each child at Meet the Teacher Night. I am still waiting on about 5 more families to join us on Class Dojo, thanks!
- Homework this week: No reading HW due to the short week. Your child should continue to read a book or chapter book of their choosing nightly though. Spelling HW is the practice test, due on Friday. Math HW is a worksheet about our skill learned the week before, due on Friday.
Thanks,
Mrs. Reiber

What we are learning in Room 12 this week...
This is the area of the weekly newsletter where parents/guardians can be informed of what is planned for our week. If your child is ever going to be absent, please let me know in advance if possible, so I can send make-up work with them.
- Math - We will continue our unit about the properties of multiplication. We have been practicing our skip-counting songs in class - ask your child to sing one for you!
- Reading - We are going to continue our Reader's Theater plays and we will begin to read the book Recess Queen to learn about character traits.
- Writing/Spelling - This week we will focus on Short E and Long E sounds. Please check your child's agenda for their spelling words; there is a test on Friday. For writing class, we will continue writing about special things in our lives and we will finish up our review of school and classroom PBIS procedures.
- We finished our first social studies unit last week. Tests have been scored and will be coming home with your child for you to keep at home and do what you wish with it. We will begin science this week and our first unit is about Earth's natural resources. See the link to a StudyJams slideshow below!
