2nd quarter progress reports go home next Wednesday and I will be collecting reading
timelines on Friday this week as part of their reading grade for their progress report. Please
make sure your student is keeping their reading timeline up to date and complete this week.
They should add 2-3 books since the last time it was graded. Since we finished Wonder
together last week. That book should be completed and filled out and will count towards this
next check in.
We will also be spending time preparing for the Christmas program on December 18th.
Our song this year is called Rockin Baby Jesus and the students should dress like
rockstars. The students may wear things like bright neon colors, sunglasses, hair
accessories, or rock-star like patterned clothing for their performance on December 18. If
youre not sure what to wear or dont feel like you have anything that fits, please dont worry
about going out and purchasing clothing to wear, Jeans or any color pants and a white t-shirt
will be just fine.
As always, please feel free to e-mail me or message me on classdojo if you have any
questions or concerns that I can help with.
Thank You, and God Bless,
Ms. Krisman
