Progress Reports

Progress reports will go out this Friday.

I have several requests to post HW and spelling lists on the BLOG. I certainly don't mind doing this however, part of our goal in S.T.A.R is for you child to take A-Academic R-Responsibility. Please make sure you are checking and initialing the planner daily as the assignments and spelling words should be written in there. The planner is checked daily by a teacher and is used as another great way for us to communicate.

Students are assigned HW each night in Math, Spelling and Reading. BLUE Spelling folders should go home every night. Spelling assignments do not vary from week to week only the words. Students should be reading a minimum of 15 min. nightly and recording their reading in the YELLOW reading log. Students are also asked to get a parent signature.

Don't forget, next Thursday is Family Literacy Night...Sept. 25. Please look for more details in our Parent News Letter Friday.

Welcome to STAR

This blog was created as a tool to keep our parents and families informed about what is going on in our classroom. We hope you visist often! Mrs. Permuy, Ms. Davoli and I have really enjoyed getting to know our new S.T.A.R. students in these first few days. Our returning "STAR"s have helped us out by setting an example for those new to the program. We have high expectations for our students! S.T.A.R. stands for "Students Taking Academic Responsibility"... each child will be held accountable for their effort and behavior every day.
Open house will be held this Thursday, September 4, at 7:00p.m. We are looking forward to greeting old friends and meeting new faces.
Thank you for choosing to play an active role in your child's education....
