Things to know to make our year run smoothly:
Your child will need to bring a folder, a snack and a backpack to school each
day. Please help your child put his/her folder in the backpack before school
each day.
When your child wears a jacket or sweater to school please be sure to write
your child's name on the tag. We want to make sure the items go home with the
correct child.
A newsletter will be sent home every Friday. The newsletter will tell you
about what we are learning in the classroom, upcoming events, homework for
the week, special items needed in class to enhance our curriculum and the
name of our student of the week. Please try to read this before school on
Monday to find out if your child will need to bring something special to
school that week.
Attached to each newsletter you will find the weekly homework and any notices
or flyers from the school. The homework will be due every Friday. Homework is
part of our report card grades so I will be grading and recording it each
week.
The SOAR reading log is also part of the weekly homework assignment. Your
child will need to turn in a log listing 7 to 10 books read each week. You
may read any books to your child to satisfy this requirement. Each trimester
your child will need to have read 50 books to earn the trimester award of a
tag and a book. The children also get to eat and play games with Mr.
Lautenslager as a reward for reading. This is a fun time for our students.
We go to the library every Friday. Please have your child return the book on
or before Friday each week so that he/she may check out another one.
