Class Dojo

Parents & Guardians!

I am sending home a note about Class Dojo!  If you haven't had the opportunity to sign up - PLEASE do!!!  This will be a great way for us to communicate throughout the year!  You will get daily updates on your child and their participation in class!  I think it will be a wonderful tool!!!  Google it - YouTube it - check it all out - IT. IS. AWESOME!!!

I am also sending home a snack calendar - at Open House I asked all parents that came in to write a tally on the board under yes or no and that I would do what majority wanted - as far as a snack calendar.  The majority was Yes!  If you purchase a snack ahead of time and would like to send it in, that is perfectly fine!

Spelling lists will go home Fridays for the following week!  Please be sure to practice these with your child at home.  If you have any questions so far - you know how to reach me! 

Cheers to a great year!  I am so excited to be working with you!

A Fresh Start!

Wow!!! The summer sure has flown by!  I am super excited to start out a new year, in a new class, with a new team of teachers!  Although I may have had your child in the past, I am excited for a new chapter with them!  We will be doing some new things this year and I cannot wait to fill you in on all of it!  First off, I was awarded another grant!!  Woo-hoo!!!  We have a beautiful magnetic whiteboard and brand new area rug in our classroom!  I cannot wait for you to see them!  Not only do we have that but we also have a new document camera and projector!  I am excited to be able to use new and innovative ways to engage your child in the common core! 

I will be implementing a new behavior and communication tool this year called ClassDojo!  I will send home information about it.  The wonderful thing about Dojo, is that we can communicate throughout the day!  If your child is making great choices and or working hard, you will get a notification, if there are some things he or she needs to work on - you will also get a notification!  I am excited to use this tool and work with you as a team to ensure your child has the best education possible this year! 

The classroom is almost all ready to go!  I hope to see all of you at Open House on Wednesday, August 26 from 5:00-7:00pm!
