Happy Track Out...

We made it to our first track out! Yea! When your child gets home please check their D.O.T. for their Mclass Home Connect letter. This will summarize the reading assessments your child completed in the last the weeks and give you great ideas for next steps to support your child grow even further as a reader. 

In addition you will find the Summer Track Out Challenge and two sets of math cards. These are 100% OPTIONAL! However, if the students complete these they will get rewarded when we track back in. If your child chooses to complete the reading challenge they will earn a popsicle and if they complete the math challenge will earn a homework pass. Please do not stress if you can not do these. This is your vacation time so I completely understand if your child does not want to complete them. But... if your child happens to say... "I'm bored" now you have things you can suggest they do.

Have a great track out. Enjoy, rest, relax and be safe! See you in 3!

Track out ideas...

Looking for something to do over track out? Mrs. Talbot shared with this me and it sounds awesome. It is a free online track out camp with Google. Check out this website and see for yourself.

First day success...

 We made it! Our first day of first grade was... a success! Many thanks for all the supplies that came in. The kids are happy and excited and so am I. Don't forget that Open House is on Thursday. From 5:30-6:00 there is a PTA meeting. If you are not already a member please consider joining. They do the most most wonderful things for our school. From 6:00-7:00 you may visit classrooms. We are going to keep things informal for most of the session. I will do a formal "Open House Speech" from 6:15-6:30 if you are looking for something a bit more formal.  I will have our blog up, you can register to volunteer and you will get a chance to check out what a first grade classroom looks like. I will be available to answer questions and look forward to meeting you.
