Thank you so much for a successful and enjoyable

Open House. I wanted to take this opportunity to explain that a

conference at the end of the first quarter is mandatory for every-
one and then after the first quarter only required if requested by
the teacher or parent. However, if you have concerns you do not
have to wait until the end of a quarter to meet with me. You are
always welcome to conference with me at any time regarding
your child. Please do not hesitate to email me for an appoint-
ment (see my email address in bottom left hand corner.)

This week we are reading, Unit 1-Week 2 Exploring
Space. Regarding homework, please help your child get off to
a good start with consistent completion of their homework.
Please see the Take Home folder for the weekly homework
spelling assignments on the bottom right hand side of the folder
or look under the homework tab on our class website. Your
child should be coming home with a library book every night in
order to fulfill the 20 minute reading requirement (they may
also read books from source other than the library.) Please make
sure that they return the library books to school EVERYDAY.
Regarding your childs Reading goal for this quarter, it is best
to ask your child daily how they are doing on their Reading
goal. We graph our progress so that they know how they are
doing and they should be able to communicate that progress to
you.
