October 25

Our TAG teachers wanted to make sure that parents are aware of the Parent Information Night for TAG Program. They asked to please post the following information:

The parent meeting for TAG nominations is coming up soon!!!


Tuesday, November 13, 2012 is the date. The meeting will be in the Forest Creek Library at 5:15 PM. This meeting will discuss the TAG program, who can nominate students, and what TAG students are.

In math, we have been creating patterns. Perhaps your child has been trying to find patterns at home. The students LOVE finding patterns!

In reading, we have been locating sight words and reading for fluency. We are also independently reading up to 20 minutes now which is AWESOME! I hope that your child is also reading at home and is enjoying the Raz-kids site.

In writing, we are stretching our words to hear more sounds, segmenting and blending. We use our arms to sound out words so it is easier to hear a beginning, middle and ending sound. We are also working on adding details to our pictures.

In our staff development meeting today, a site was shared called ABCya.com. It had some fun things that your child might enjoy.


Thank you for being so faithful in sending a note when your child has a change in his/her regular dismissal procedure. If your child is attending Running Club on Mondays, you only need to send in one note and then every Monday, your child will be dismissed with the Running Club children. They will be walked to the track.

The weather will be getting cooler this week-end, so please label your child's jacket so it can be returned instead of going to the lost and found box. THANK YOU!
