I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. I would like to know how many people are actually looking at the blog. I'm trying to find a good way to communicate that doesn't involve wasting paper and I would like this to be the way. So please give me a little shout out if you like t\he blog and will take advantage of it.
I hope you've heard by now that I will not be doing a weekly newsletter for a while. I plan to post a newsletter on the blog and in e-mail. I'll post here but then I will copy this and e-mail it to you also. I just need to make sure I am still reaching my whole class. Please give me input. I might actually need to do a newsletter but until I hear your thoughts I'm going to try it this way.
1. Spelling words and Reading log will be in the planner. I will collect the planners on Friday mornings and grading them just as I would the reading log. Please follow the same guidelines as the printed reading log.
2. Spelling homework will change just a little. Here are the changes.... no more print!!! Everything needs to be in cursive. The class seems to enjoy it better this way and we will go with it. Monday-2 times in cursive, Tuesday-Word 1-10 in sentences, Wednesday-word 11-20 in sentences, Thursday-practice spelling test from an adult, make sure it is fixed and signed.
3. Look in planners for test announcements and weekly information. PLEASE MAKE YOUR CHILDREN READ AT NIGHT!!! NO EXCUSES!!! BE A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUR CHILD!!!!
Sign the parent/teacher/student compact if you haven't. Send it back as soon as possible.
Mr. Pyrtle is sending me to four workshops in Oct. which means I will have a sub. Please talk with your child about the importance of behaving and working for a substitute teacher. I expect the same work and behavior out of them that I get when I am here.
Have a great week, I'll blog again before the weekend.
