Our Student Teacher

We have anew edition to the family in room 36.  Her name is Ms. Emily Balderson.  She is an Elementary Education major from my alma mater, the University of DE.  We are so fortunate to have her.  You should have received her letter of introduction.  She has been teaching reading lessons and is contributing to parent teacher conferences.  I AM VERY IMPRESSED WITH HER SO FAR!!!!!!

Homework Folder

Every night kids should be bringing home a purple homework folder.  Please ask for the folder.  Check to see if there are important papers for you to sign and return to school.  Remind your child to place the folder in their bookbag.  When they arrive at school in the morning they need to put the folder in our folder holder.  This is important so that we can communicate each day.   Presently the homework folder will have many forms and letters for parents to read, sign, and return.  The yellow emergency card is of the utmost importance.

Pleae take the time to make a quiet comfortable place in your home for your child to do homework. It should be away from the TV and other distractions.  There should be a table or desk with school supplies available.  At the beginning of the year you may want to sit with  your child to boost their confidence.  However, later in the year you should allow them to do homework independently, but checking over it with them when they are through.

The star of the day is………

The first child in alphabetical order in my roll book is the first star of the day of the year.  The next child in alphabetical order is the line ender and will be the star of the day tomorrow.  The star of the day is the messenger who gets to take the attendance to the office and is the line leader.  I do this so that each child will feel special and recieve additional attention from me once a month.  You will know it’s your child’s star day because they will come home with the star of the day crown.
