Hi Everyone,
I’m finally done with planning and I am looking forward to some time off with my family. As a reflect on the week, we have been very busy. I appreciate everyone who was able to return their conference sheet. I look forward to seeing everyone during our conference week (Oct 14-Oct 18).
As I stated in a previous email, we do not have any homework besides reading, phonics, and sight (or) spelling words.
Here is a peek at what we have planned for when we get back:
Reading- Non-fiction vs Fiction
Writing- Narratives
Math-Subtraction, Related Facts and Word Problems
Science- Magnets
Phonics- Ending blends
Mark your calendars: Picture Day is Friday 10-4
Lastly, I wanted to take the time to double check that you got the text or email blast about our new school-wide policy that administration will be starting on 9/30 when we get back from break. The blast said the following:
“To ensure building safety and foster
independence in our children, we
will begin the Parent/Child Hug Stop
on 9/30. Parents are asked to say
goodbye each morning at the main
entrance of the school.”
As a parent of three myself, I think it is important to know who is in the building with my children. I personally do not know every parent who is walking the halls in the building in the morning. I appreciate that the administration of our school cares about the security of our building and the personal independence skills of our students. I am proud to say that each one of our students in our class are working hard to problem solve and be independent thinkers. They can confidently traverse the halls and feel proud of their accomplishments.
If you have any questions please remember that I am always available by text, email or in person. If we need to schedule a conference before conference week, I am available most afternoons, afterschool or in the morning before school starts.
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable break.
Mrs. Grecko
