Dear Parents of Room 14,
Welcome to our first online update! This update is like a weekly newsletter in that I will include reminders, important dates, and some information about our topics of study. I will also provide you with several questions you can ask your child regarding our units/topics of study.
Here are a few important reminders:
- Planners- Please continue to view and sign these each evening. Due to time constraints, sometimes we do not complete everything listed in the planner. I appreciate your patience with this as we continue to work out the bugs in our schedule.
- Contracts- Your child should bring their contract folder home on Tuesdays and work on them for 20-30 minutes. All work, finished or unfinished, should be sent into school on Wednesday. Contracts are due on October 8!
- PE- Please don't forget to wear appropriate shoes for PE on Tuesdays!
- Morning Snacks- Due to peanut allergies in our class, please make sure your child is packing a peanut-free snack for our morning break!
- Graded paper folders- These folders come home on Wednesdays and need to be signed and returned the next day.
- Conduct Folders- Come home on Fridays and must be signed and returned the next school day.
Mark your calendars:
- Tues. 9/23-9/26- Early Release for conferences
- October 8- Contracts due
A Peek at our Week: Here are a few topics we will be covering in each subject this week:

- Spelling- long 0 spelling patterns
- Writing- begin cursive; writing complete sentences; subjects and predicates

Questions to ask your child:

- Did you get Fun Friday? Why or why not?
Have a great week! Please call or email if you have any questions.

hmm,
this may be my second comment (sorry). I love this! Fantastic! Is there anyway we could get the spelling words posted here? It would help a lot (at least here where we sometimes throw away papers not realizing they were spelling words - oops)
Thanks again -
Makinley's mom, Dede
Great summary and update for what you all are up to! Thanks! One question, when will you be providing 'passwords' to the grade section of your webpage?
Thanks!
Joe (aka Scott's Dad)
