Truman Action News
August/September 2015
Welcome Back!
I'd like to welcome you back to school and tell you some of the exciting things that we will be doing in our classroom! We have a new Epson document camera this year that I am super excited about because it has a microscope attachment and audio/video capabilities. We will be using this often in our classroom!
Action classes starting the week of September 7th!
Because Action is a pull-out program at Truman Elementary we give the students one full week to be in the regular classroom learning new routines. Action classes will start the week of the 7th and run all year long. Students are reminded that the work done in the regular classroom is a priority and should be a personal responsibility to get all missing assignments completed and turned in. Students are asked to bring their student planners to class everyday to help in the communication between the classroom teacher, parents and myself. I will sign them each day we have Action and look for any notes.
New Keva Planks!
I am also very excited that we have new Keva planks that we will be using in both RtI and Action this year. KEVA Planks are cuboid wooden block toys for children and adults. Each block is sized approximately 1/4 inch x 3/4 inch x 4 1/2 inch and we have over 400 to work with this year! I am looking forward to watching the creativity and inspiration with them!
