Hello Parents!

Hope you found some time to relax and unwind this weekend. The week ahead is sure to be busy since it will be our first full week of school since the year started! I have just a couple updates and reminders below for the coming week. 

Charging Chrome Books:

Please make sure your child is coming to school each day with their Chrome Book charged. Unfortunately due to space issues we cannot let everyone charge them at school. If they come to school with it not charged they are offered a loaner computer. Those ones are not as nice and the students don't like to use them. We have begun our math and literacy stations and a few of the stations use the computers. I have reminded the students each day to charge their computers at home, but many are still coming in with their computers dead. If you could assist me with this, I would appreciate it.

Puzzlemania Forms:

I sent a Puzzlemania form home last week. Please sign and return it if you haven't already. Even if you are not interested in getting a subscription to the magazine, we get credit for returning them and they send stickers and goodies to the class. Just mark 'no' on the sheet and sign it. Your child also earns a Pawsome award for returning it to me. I would like to send the forms off on October 1st. So please return those this week if you haven't already. 

Picture Day:

On Friday, I sent home the picture day forms. Please check your child's Take Home Folder for those. Our class is scheduled to have our picture taken on Thursday, September 23rd. 

Focus Areas for the Coming Week:

• Reading:  We have begun our first Reader's Workshop Unit. 

• Math:  We will continue to work on place value and knowing the values of numbers through the millions. 

• Virginia Studies:  We will wrap up our first chapter in VA Studies on the 5 regions. The students will have a test on chapter 1 this Friday, September 24th. Please make sure they are using that study guide that went home a couple of weeks ago to prepare for the test.  

Thank you for reading the updates. Reach out anytime with questions, comments and concerns. Have a great week!
