NOTE FROM THE TEACHER
Wednesday, November 9, 2009
Over the past couple of weeks, we've had an increase in absences due to
varied illnesses; some with flu like symptoms others with simple seasonal
illnesses. To take precaution, we are increasing antibacterial cleaning in
classrooms and in other common areas such as the cafeteria. To assist us in
preventing the spread of germs, please keep your children home if you suspect
that their sickness is related to anything other than the common cold.
Please remember that if a child has temperature he/she should remain at home
until they are fever free for 24 hours. Thank you so much for helping us keep
our children happy and healthy!

We are excited to provide additional time for math enrichment for our
students. We are reorganizing our schedule to include an additional 45 minute
block. This will allow us to focus on math standards on which our students
need additional support as well as provide extension activities for those
students who are proficient but are ready to engage in activities that
stretch the learning. Please see our attached schedule for details.
Our particular class schedule will basically stay the same, except for some
changes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
7:50-9:10 Math Block
9:10-10:00 Specials
10:00-11:00 Language Arts (Writing/Spelling)

Book Adventure is a program to support reading at home. Information about
this program was sent home several weeks ago, along with log in instructions
for the students. This program is similar to Accelerated Reader, but the
points/prizes will not be handled at school. Check it out at
Bookadventure.com . If you need the log-in information again, let me know.
