Hi families! 


We had a great first week! It has been wonderful getting to know all of your students and I am excited for an amazing year! Thank you for all of the donated supplies to our classroom. We appreciate it deeply! 


The first couple of weeks, we will be working hard on learning procedures and practicing bear behaviors, as well as building our classroom community. 


We have started our math learning. Last week, we did Unit 1, lessons 1-2. This week, we will hope to complete lessons 3-6. This unit is on factors and multiples, so it will be extremely beneficial to practice multiplication fact fluency at home as well. One great way to do this is flashcards! 


NWEA: This week we will be taking the Math and Reading NWEA. We will be testing from 9:00-10:45 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday with small breaks during that time. Please try to schedule any appointments in the afternoon if possible. Students are allowed to bring gum or mints to help them focus for testing! 


Please make sure your student brings a snack and their water bottle daily. 


Snack Donations: If anyone would like to and is able to send in extra snacks, that would be greatly appreciated! I try to keep extras in case students forget their snack. Thank you! 


Please fill out this Getting to Know You form if you have not already.
