Wren Elementary ---September 14, 2015
This week and next, I will be administering the PALS (Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening) to all students. This is a very helpful assessment that will guide me in planning instruction for my students. I will need to meet with each child individually two times over the next two weeks. Mrs. Lorey will be guiding them in small group activities and rotating centers while I am screening. We will not be doing our instructional groups for these 2 weeks. The students did a great job with these! I look forward to returning to those the week of September 29. I'll begin scheduling conferences soon for October. At this time, I'll be discussing this assessment and other details about your child for this year.
Important Information
- Behavior reports come home on the first day of each week. However, if I have a need to contact you during the week, I will. We want to help the children stay on track as quickly as possible. Thanks so much for your support in helping your child do your best.
- Each week, Mrs. Lorey and I will choose a "Captain of the Week". We submit this name to the office to be announced on Fridays on the school news show. This student is selected for making good choices in the classroom and being respectful of his/her teachers and classmates. The first week, our student was Karina, this week it was John! They've each received their certificates and a visited the "big" treasure box. I look forward to having all of our students work hard to be named Captain of the Week.
- Remember that Scholastic Book orders are due tomorrow 9/14 if you choose to order for your child. You may also complete orders online by 9/14.
- My Big World is a Scholastic magazine for students. I'm very excited that we were able to purchase a subscription for your children this year. Every week, we will go over the magazine in class and send a copy home with your child. They really enjoyed their first issue last week.
- Monday, September 28, is a Professional Development day for teachers and a student holiday. No school on this day!
