Dear Families,
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 started the Rhythm and Moves PE (funded by the AVHSC) with Mr. Thomas on Monday this week. We will also have PE every other Wednesday with Mr. Thomas. We started this week, so next week we won’t meet on Wednesday. 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 today. We will meet together on Friday mornings for about 25 minutes each week.
Music with Mrs. Threet begins this week on Tuesday.
We will have our first library visit on Thursday, September 5th at 1:00.
On the week of September 9th, 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.
On the week of September 16th, we will begin the Special Person of The Week. The schedule is on our web page and there is a copy in your BTSN packet.
**Students may have water bottles on their desks throughout the school day. However, please do not send juice or sports drinks for inside the classroom.
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).
I will send out an email about Seesaw, an online journal, where we can share student work and pictures with parents. Please sign up soon!
If you haven’t done so already, please fill out the online AVHSC Volunteer, participation, and communication distribution. www.avhsc.org Remember existing and new families need to create a new account.
Wishing you a nice weekend!
