We need one more volunteer to hole punch lap cards for our class at Thursday’s walk-a-thon 9:30 – 10:45 am! Please email me if you can help us out!
Our goal this week: Wear purple and show my best CVES spirit for the Walkathon on Thursday!
Some items in this Monday's take-home folder:
Sign and return: Weekly Update, Reading Log (in binders)
Review and keep at home: Math fact tests, Math practice pages (varies by walk-to-math class), Topic 1 Math Packet with effort score, Note to my parent rough drafts
Class Directory: A draft of the class directory is attached to this week's email. Please make sure that all information is correctly included for your child, and email me with any changes. A paper final copy will come home next week in the Monday folders. Thank you!
Attendance Hotline: If your child will be missing school or tardy for any reason, please be sure to call the attendance hotline: 425-831-4108 Due to changes in the district's policy, if a student is absent and the attendance line has not been called, our school secretaries are required to call all the emergency contact numbers in that student's file until they can find a reason for the absence. Please call the attendance line!
Late/Forgotten Items: Please make sure students are sent to school with all needed items - the office has been overwhelmed by lunch/binder/shoe/jacket/etc deliveries, and each item delivered results in an interruption of learning when the secretaries call into the class. Thank you!
Walk-a-thon Fundraiser: The Walkathon is Thursday - students should wear running shoes, have a refillable water bottle, and wear as much purple as possible! Envelopes are due October 6th.
Storyworks: Students can now access Storyworks content including audio and video by entering our class code: room19cub
Dreambox: is finally up and running. Larson homeroom challenge for Monday 9/29: 20 minutes of Dreambox = 3 class rewards!
October volunteer calendar: The revised October volunteer calendar is attached to this week's email. Thanks again for all you do to support our class's learning - we couldn't do it without you!!!
