September 14 Parent Letter

Parents,

Look for your child’s progress report in their folder on Wednesday. Attached to it will be their reading record for the first three weeks of school. Please remember that when they are reading for their trophy, only books at or above their grade level are counted. Please sign and return the bottom portion of their progress report on Thursday. I will replace the lowest non-test grade in one subject of your choice with a 100 if this is returned on Thursday. Please write the subject next to your signature.

We will have our first Health Quiz on Thursday. The study sheet is posted on the class web site. Please spend some time reviewing this with your child.

I will remind third grade parents again to buy some multiplication flash cards and work on 0-3 fact families. Speed drill averages count as a test grade, and they must be able to work quickly. Please practice these every day.

Second grade parents – addition and subtraction flash cards will help the students get faster on their speed drills.

I will begin to take points off (-1) when the students write their numbers wrong, and (-5) when they leave their names off a paper. If your child has problems getting their numbers right, please practice with them at home.

We started playing the flutophones last week, and the kids had a great time.

We have a large amount of standing water around the school. Mosquitoes are likely to be a big annoyance. Feel free to send insect repellant to school and I will hose down the kids before we go outside!

Lastly, this Sunday, September 20th, is Pastor Gilbert Franke's retirement service. If any of you feel inclined to come out and pass along your best wishes on his retirement, the service will begin at 10:30. We will all miss him here at school.
