* Report Cards will be sent home with children on Monday, Nov. 14. Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on the evening of Monday, Nov. 21 and the evening of Tuesday, Nov. 22. Please sign up with the instructions from the office. We have a half day on Wednesday, Nov. 23 and No School Nov. 24-25.
*Our virtue for the month is GRATITUDE. Each Monday, we celebrate "Moral Focus Monday" with lessons devoted to our school virtue. Vanderbilt will also be collecting food for those in need in our area over the coming weeks.
*Spelling is now a part of our weekly routine. Words are introduced each Monday and the students are tested on Fridays. Please take time to review these ten words throughout the week for mastery.
*Agendas should go home and back each day. FRIDAY folders will go home with papers for the week.
I do feel strongly in reading daily. I truly believe that the more kids read (or are read to), the better readers they become. Exposure to print, story elements, and spelling patterns are all so important at this level and help to create a love of reading and learning. Please take time throughout the week to read with your child. If your child is an independent reader, they may want to journal about what they are reading or discuss it with a family member to gain a deeper understanding.
Here are some potential learning activities to replace homework time if you so choose:
1. FrontRow- each student has a login with their first name and last name initial. Code:hulstr
2. MAP Math/MAP Reading (these sites have activities and games geared to student individual RIT levels- I will share these at conferences in a couple weeks)
3. Spelling Practice (chalk, finger paint, shaving cream, computer practice, creative sentences using words...)
4. Visit a library and check out some new books
5. Read! :)
