*The first week of school was exciting!
*Website: http://mrssteve.weebly.com This year I will be sending updates through my blogpost on my website. I will email you a link to the website each time I post an update. Please check out the website! *Please check your child's purple Huskie take home folder daily for important information. If you need to send a note to school, please put it in this folder as I check them each morning. Please remind your child to bring this folder back and forth daily. *If your child has a change in his/her regular afternoon routine, please send a note or call the office. If you email, please email a couple of days in advance because I often don’t get to my email until after the school day is over. *Please note that we will not have snack time this year due to our lunch time. We eat lunch at 11:20. *Every Friday is school spirit day! Dress in ‘Albany Huskies' clothes or purple & white. *Remember to sign up for 100 mile club by tomorrow, Friday Sept 7. Walking starts on Monday, Sept. 10th. Students can walk from 7:30-8AM on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. They can walk/run as much as they'd like and can go to breakfast at 7:45am. There are 2 staff members available, they will let students know when they can go to breakfast. *Books: Look for little black and white books to come home starting this week and for the rest of the year. These are great for reading practice at home. We've read them at school before they are sent home. Save these books to go back to and read, especially if the current ones become difficult. Your child can read these books to you or you can read to them. *Birthday Celebration: I am encouraging students to bring a book for me to read to the class on the day we celebrate his/her birthday. I can also make my classroom library available to pick from. *School pictures are scheduled for Thursday, September 13. The envelopes came home today with directions on ordering. Everyone will get their picture taken for the yearbook regardless of whether you order or not. Thanks! Dana Steve 845-2161 [email protected] |
