August 19-20, 2010

Thanks to all the parents and students that attended the 2010 Open House. We had quite a few people sign up to volunteer in the classroom. Thank you so much for recognizing the need for parent involvement in the classroom.

Thursday and Friday will be spent getting to know the classroom routines. There will be homework on both Thursday and Friday. We will start keyboarding on Monday and there will also be keyboarding homework for the first five weeks. Spelling words will start on the 23rd. I will begin individual reading assessments early next week. I plan to have the groups formed and be ready for volunteers right after Labor Day. I will call and let you know when to begin helping in our classroom. Again, thank you for volunteering and I look forward to working with you in meeting the needs of your children. Mrs. Bayer

P.S. I failed to pick up the "Safe Schools Policy" forms. They will be coming home on Thursday night. Please return them to me promptly. Thank you.
