Scholastic Book Club Order

I will be sending home Scholastic Book Club order forms tomorrow.  If you would like to purchase a book (or two) for your student, you may send a check back to school (payable to Scholastic ... please no cash!), or you may order online!  Please don't feel pressured to purchase, but there are books in all price ranges available.  No tax or shipping costs need to be added.

Click here - our classroom code is HKCZW.

I will close out our classroom order on the afternoon of Friday, September 7, 2012.  The books should be delivered to the classroom the next week.

Happy shopping!

One Week In

Our first week was a success!  As we head into the second week, homework and a more structured routine will begin.

Homework is fairly standard; no surprises (unless classwork fails to be completed).  Please consult your child's planner each night.  In addition, consult the newsletter that will be sent home about once a week.  This will keep you informed of what we're studying, as well as homework due dates and test dates.

Generally, homework will be:

Saxon Math - side B - nightly

Spelling Tic Tac Toe - due on test day (about every 6 school days)

Reading Log - 20 minutes each night (beginning after we go to library)

Thank you for your partnership!  Together we make a great team!

First Day Back

Wow, what a GREAT first day back!  I hope the students enjoyed themselves as much as I did.

Over the next week we'll be conducted various forms of benchmarking testing to assess the students and get a starting point for the year.  I know these tests can be tedious, but we'll get through them and really get started on our routine.

Thank you so much for all of the supplies and donations you have sent.  Please know that they are greatly appreciated.

Here's to a great school year!
