Classroom Updates
From Mrs. Derken
Breakfast
I wanted to make sure parents are aware that our breakfast program starts at 8:25 in the morning. This means if your child gets a breakfast from our school they can go as early as 8:25 to the multipurpose room and eat it. Some kids are coming and hanging out on the playground and waiting until the bell rings to go get breakfast. I am telling you this because last week I had an average of 10 kids walking in and eating a full breakfast. If your child gets here early and they need to get breakfast they should be going directly to the multipurpose room to get it- not hang out on the blacktop for 10 minutes and then decide they want to go get a breakfast.
Book Log
I shared a Book Log with the students on Google Sheets. I showed the students how to log on and fill it out. Examples were also included so you can reference those when filling out the log. They are expected to fill out the log anytime they read. The students and I will meet about their logs. I can also view them from my computer to see what they have been up to!
Picture Day
Reminder picture day is September 30th!
Research Topics
Kids will have time in class to pick a topic they are interested in and research it. They will then be able to create a presentation on it in google slides or google docs. The kids and I were talking about researching famous people. I told them they need to talk to a parent about famous people they want to research. I am not always familiar with some of the new up and coming actors, singers or athletes. As you know, some of these people we look up to have a past.
Conferences
As of today, I have all conferences scheduled. I will send home your exact conference time later this week.
