Wow, can you believe we have been in school for 1 month
already?? The students have begun to settle into their routing nicely. We
are all working on our independent skills such as hanging up backpacks,
taking out homework, taking out our communication notebook, handing in
notes, taking out our lunch boxes etc. Some of us still require some
prompting or reminders but overall we are all doing great!
We are also working on following our daily schedule and
transitioning from one place to another with minimal prompting. Again, this
may be a work in progress for some.
All of us have been mainstreaming successfully to recess and
lunch with the other 4th and 5th grade classes and we
have been doing great! Some of us have begun to mainstream into related arts
and so far we are doing well. We will continue to work with everyone to help
them be successful in this area.
As soon as I receive the log on code and directions on how to
get onto destination reading website through the school district website, I
will send it home. This literacy program will be utilized in the classroom
on a daily basis. I encourage each of you to try this with your child. The
students will be learning important reading strategies and concepts through
this program and they really enjoy it. Last year they asked for access to
this program on a daily basis. I will incorporated this program into the
reading center like I did last year.
Please be sure to check their communication notebooks and
homework folders for homework and/or other important information. Also,
please be sure to initial the bottom of each daily tracking sheet so that I
know you are seeing it and please leave it stapled in the notebooks. If you
are having any difficulties please let me know. Thanks again for all of your
help and support on this matter.
Thank you again to all of those who so far have brought in
their
classroom supplies for their child. It is really important that we
get the materials that they need for this year. We do need wipes, tissues,
copy paper and some extra snacks sent in if possible such as goldfish,
pretzels, etc. If you think of other items to send in that were not on the
original list such as snacks, etc., please feel free to do so.
We are also in need of treasure box toys. Anything you can
donate would be great. Thank you again for your support in this matter.
If you need to reach me, please feel free to e-mail me at the
school at
lunta@martin.k12.fl.us
or you may call the school at 219-1555 ext 233. I will respond to you at my
earliest convenience. If you plan on e-mailing me, please write down your
e-mail address for me so that I may be able to identify you when you are
e-mailing....thanks!
Looking forward to another great year!
Sincerely,
