You can look on Aspire to see which class(es) your student is in. I am excited to get to know each of your children this year!
I will be sending a weekly email every Monday to inform you of important events, our weekly schedule, and anything else going on in our classroom. I believe communication is key to creating a strong home to school connection and I encourage you to always reach out with any questions! Today I sent home several items:
Literacy This week we will be going over rules and expectations and giving students our Beginning of Year Assessment to adapt our instruction to meet everyone's needs and skill levels. We will be starting our Wonders literacy program this week which will review kindergarten concepts. Students will not have spelling words for the first week of school. When students have spelling words there will be a spelling packet sent home on Monday's to be returned on Friday's. I will also add the spelling words in my weekly email. Math This year we are using a new math curriculum. This week we will be reviewing concepts and going over rules and expectations. Reminders There will be a letter from Mrs. Pilkington every Wednesday. These letters contain important information that I will not cover in my emails. Please read through these thoroughly. If you are not receiving this, check in with the front desk. After we get into our routine, I will inform you about volunteering in the classroom! Please reach out with any questions! I will try to answer your email the same day, but it may take me up to 24 hours to respond. I look forward to a wonderful school year! |
