It was nice to meet all of you at Back To School Night. Feel free to email me or stop by after school if you have further questions. Thank you for all that you have signed up for - to help our class this year! I know you are busy with work and home life, so I really appreciate your help – it makes a BIG difference in our class!
I apologize for the lengthy email but I wanted to mention a few more things at Back-to-School Night:
We will begin the Recess 101 PE (funded by the AVHSC) with Coach Justin on Thursday. Please be sure your child is wearing sneakers and comfortable clothing.
We had our first meeting with our 4th Grade (Mrs. Hamamjy’s class) Buddies. We will meet together on Friday mornings for about 20 minutes each week.
Homework Packet no.1 was sent home today. It will be due on Thursday, August 30th or Tuesday, September 4th. Your child may do the pages in the order of his/her or your choice. The last page of the packet is called the Word of the Week page; I will collect and keep these to make a book for each child at the end of the year. **The Word Of The Week can be found on the backside of the Homework Cover Sheet.**
The week of September 10th, we will start our BEAR SHARE (Sharing). I updated the schedule and assignments on our classroom web page and attached the schedule to your BTSN packet.
The week of September 24th, we will begin Special Person of The Week. The schedule is on our web page and a copy is in your BTSN packet.
**Students may have water bottles on their desk throughout the school day. However, please do not send juice or sports drinks for inside the classroom.
As a safety precaution classroom doors are locked during the day. If you are coming to school to volunteer, please sign in at the office to get a sticker badge (even if it makes you a minute late to help).
If you haven’t done so already, please fill out the online AVHSC Volunteer, participation, and communication distribution. https://www.myschoolanywhere.com/join.a5w JOIN CODE: AltaVista
