Newsletter 8-28-16


Parents,                                                        

It’s been fun getting to know your children.  We’ve spent the last few days doing friendship activities, learning the SOAR rules for our school, and practicing classroom procedures.  We began our first unit in Reading Streets, started our first math topic, and learned two new addition games.  We wrote about summer vacation, read books by Kevin Henkes, and did writing and math activities with our names.  It’s been a busy week!

Thank you to those of you who returned the PTA envelope, the class information page, and the emergency preparedness kits.  If you haven’t had a chance to do that yet, please return them next week.  We would love to have all our Sunrise families join the PTA!

Thank you to all of you who have been signing your child’s planner each night.  Students will be expected to have their planners signed and returned every day.  It is a great organizer and communication tool. 

I will be sending home a homework packet on Monday.  Please have your child complete it throughout the week and return it by Friday.  It should not take them more than twenty minutes each night.  I will give you more information at Back to School Night this Tuesday, but you can email me or call me if you have any questions.

I will be sending the children home with take-home folders on Monday.  Students should use them each afternoon to take home their papers, and they should bring them back to school each morning.  Please help them keep track of their folders the whole year.

I’m looking forward to seeing you Tuesday, August 30 at 5:30 for Back to School Night.  I will give you more information at that time.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
