Mrs.B's Smart Cookies

Week of September 9th

Update - though we did have a student with a severe nut allergy expected in our classroom, that student has since moved so sending small amounts of nuts to school is ok but please talk to your child about being careful. Nut products shouldn't go outside at recess and students that eat them in our classroom are asked to spray their desk and wash their hands with soap afterwards to help keep all of our students safe.

There will be no homework yet this week, but  you'll probably hear at home about a few pre-tests that we'll be completing this week.  These are tests that we use in school before teaching the subject matter to get an idea of overall strengths and areas for improvement.

Today students did a spelling pretest that helps me to determine a spelling group for them to start in that should be challenging without being too difficult.  Students (and parents) are encouraged to talk to me about these groups since they can change throughout the year.

Finally - a very important note.    Thursday from  6:30 - 7:30  we have our LGMS open house.  Please come with your child to have the opportunity to explore our classroom and learning so far, and to have a chance to meet me and ask any questions.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone!
