August 27, 2010: It’s been a short week with early out each day for student assessments, but in this short time we’ve already completed reading assessments and are halfway through with Math. We’ll finish up Math next week and then move on to Writing.

Your child signed up for their literature response next week. Though their day should be listed on their Weekly Evaluation (as well as calendar) I have also listed it here as well. Not only should they have their response form completely filled out, they should also have an original, quality project to accompany it.

Please feel free to email if you have any questions.

Next week we’ll be heading out on our field trip to the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival. This is a great field trip we take each year after a series of lessons (next week) about storytelling. I wanted to say thanks to those parents who signed up to be chaperons. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to do up a letter telling you what to do, so I have included that information here:

We plan to leave the school at 10:45 and drive up to Glenn Park in Provo Canyon. The bus should arrive somewhere between 11:00 and 11:10. We will be having sack lunches for about 15 minutes before heading down to Timpanogos Park. You are welcome to meet us either at Glenn Park for lunch (bring a sack lunch if you’d like) or at the Timpanogos Park at approximately 11:25. We will be in the Bonneville Canopy. If they ask why you’re there (and you haven’t found us) let them know that you are a parent chaperon from Amelia Earhart. Your child will bring the 'badge' you will need home to you on Monday.

When completing student assessments, one thing I quickly learned about most of the class is that they need to work on both tone and expression while reading aloud. It would be advantageous for your child to practice reading aloud with expression as often as possible so that their fluency will increase. We will be doing this in the classroom; however, the more time your child spends doing this in the home, the better their fluency will become. If you have still not signed up for a slot for SEP Conferences in two weeks, please visit the class website and email (or send a note with your child) to take one of the open times.

SEP Conferences will be on September 7th and 8th. I have provided a schedule (listed below) showing the time you signed up for at Back to School Night. If you still have not signed up for a time, please contact me via email, call the school, or send a note home with your child to set up an appointment.
