There will be a guest teacher in our room on Monday and Tuesday. I will be at a technology meeting in Eugene for those two days.
This week for spelling, I’ve assigned dictated sentences using some of the top 100 most commonly used words. The last two sentences are for students who have no trouble learning the first 3 sentences. Please work on these at home. The final test will be on Friday.
1. Each of us will take one.
2. What have your friends done?
3. Where had they been?
4. I thought you knew something about my niece.
5. Your necklace is just right for the occasion
Continue playing the games I‘ve sent home. Continue working on identifying coins and counting change. We’ve been working on the addition facts at school. Please work with your child at home with them as well. Flashcards are helpful. If you need some, please let me know, and I can send some home with your child.
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. During the week, I’d like to encourage you and your child to write together. Write about someone that you admire. Tell the characteristics you admire and give examples of how those characteristics make that person admirable. Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns. Please have your child bring the writing in by Friday.
Our library check out day is on Tuesday. Please help your child to remember to return his/her book back by Monday.
Take home folders (with reading logs attached) need to be turned in on Thursday instead of Friday. Then students can bring home “Thursday Thoughts” and other papers in their folders.
Due to some schedule changes, I had to rearrange my volunteer needs:
Volunteer Opportunities (Starting the week of Sept. 15)
M, Tu, W, Th 12:30-1:35 (reading, writing, preparation)
M, Tu, W, Th 2:05-3:10 (math, preparation)
Please let me know if you are interested in helping out at any of these times. E-mail (ryan_ginny@salkeiz.k12.or.us) or a note would be the best way to reach me. I will confirm your time with you. Thank you!
