 News for the week of Sept. 30

Quarter 2 Week 1

A note from Mrs. Chern… 

Believe it or not Quarter 1 is complete. A few standards from

Quarter 1 will carry into Quarter 2 since we lost a week of

instruction for hurricane Dorian. Report Cards will be sent home

Friday. Please be on the lookout for them. We gained a new student

this past week. Please welcome Briella and her family to Raleigh and

Brassfield. Mrs. Burton was placed in a new school and is starting today.

Unfortunately, last Thursday was our last day with her here at Brassfield.

I made her promise to come and visit when traditional calendar has a day

off and we are in school. There is a schedule set for 1st and some

Kindergarten TA’s to rotate in and out of our classroom. We will begin

this today and reassess in a few weeks to see if it needs tweaking. I know

a few parents expressed interest in coming in to help. If you are willing,

please let me know and I will see where I can place you in the schedule.

With the loss of Mrs. Burton I am going to be working really hard with

the kids on responsibility. They have to become more responsible with

turning in their DOT notebook/red folder daily, taking home their

bookbags, lunchboxes and water bottles, and keeping up with their coats.

I will of course tell them EVERYDAY to collect these things. If they are

not bring them home it is because they are not listening to directions. You

can help by encouraging follow through of directions at home. They can do

it. It is age appropriate :) We are in DESPERATE NEED of sidewalk chalk.

The kids have been drawing like crazy and we are down to our last box.

This Week’s Standards… 

Reading: Characters, how authors use words to show feelings,

retelling, author’s message

Writing: What is an opinion?, forming an opinion, forming good strong
