Hello my wonderful families!
Wow, what an amazing and eye opening last week we have had! We have been on "restriction" in order to guide and encourage positive behaviors and responsibility in the classroom this week. The kids have been working hard every day, stayed on task and focused, and have earned back their freedoms. I am so pleased to say that! They have shown me that they can be responsible self managers, get all of their tasks done, and have time in the afternoons for "choice" and alternative group activities. Many of the kids told me that they were able to focus more and it was easier to get their work done. I'm hoping that this learning experience carries over and that we will have an easier go of things the rest of the school year. This week we will be diving into the Second Great Lesson; the coming of life! This is one of our favorite lessons as it offers so many different learning opportunities and is filled with excitement. This lesson will begin on Wednesday and will carry through the month of October with much of our science and cultural lessons planned around it. On Friday we have our second field trip. We will be going to West High to watch the play Aladdin. Have you turned in your permission slips yet? Both forms for Oct.9th and Nov.5th field trips are due on Wednesday with the $15 admission fee. We are also in need of at least 2 more chaperones for Friday's field trip. Parent-Teacher Conferences are approaching quickly and we have a new scheduling system. Half-days are October 21st and 22nd and there is no school on October 2rd. Please read the information below for how to access the scheduler: Parent Teacher Conferences The upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences will be held Oct 21st and 22nd. Students will be released from school at 12:30 on Oct 21st & 22nd with in-services on Oct. 23rd. Conferences offer parents the opportunity to find out how their child is getting along with classmates, how they’re progressing in school and what can be done at home to build upon strengths and overcome challenges. Parents now have the ability to schedule conference times online. The Conference Scheduler will be available for your convenience beginning, October 7th. Scheduling early offers you the opportunity to secure conference times that work best for your family. Please visit the online scheduler at: www.asdk12.org/parents **If you are unable to use the online Conference Scheduler, please contact your student’s teacher via phone or email. We are excited about this upcoming opportunity for teachers and parents/guardians to discuss important information that will help students throughout their education. As always, please catch me at school between 7am and 8:30 or after school before 4pm. You can also email me at [email protected]! Thank you for all of your support!
