Team Robinson’s Weekly News 9/8/14-9/12/14 Parents, Here are a few reminders and important things to note about the week ahead: PTA Membership- The first class to get 100% membership will win an ice cream party. We would love to win! Also, our PTA is wonderful and really works hard to help our school! Please consider joining. Binders and Homework- Binders come home each day and should be returned the next day. Inside the binder you will find homework and notes for home. You will also sometimes see work your student completed in class in the front pocket to read with you at home. Some examples might include, phonics papers that students write words using a sound we are working on in class, math facts practice sheets, or stories to read or that your child has written. If your child is absent I will also send any work they miss home in the front pocket of the binder. Attendance is very important and when your child misses school they miss out on valuable learning time. Even if it is for a doctor appointment you will need to make up the missed work. You will also see the clip chart behavior calendar with your child’s color for the day. Please continue to discuss the importance of participating and following directions with your child. Spelling- Our first spelling test will be Friday (9/12)! Please make sure you study at home. The list will be in the spelling section of the Mustang Binder. I will also include a practice sheet for home and there is also a list of fun ways to study at home. Library Books- Thursday is our library day. Please make sure your child has their book that day. If they miss getting to trade their book on Thursday they might have to wait another week to trade it. Reading at home is a wonderful way to help your child love reading! Friday Cooking Center- We will have an apple tasting party on Friday (9/12). If you would send 2 apples to school with your child (red, green, or yellow) we will taste them and make some treats using them. Student Handbook- We have all our handbooks turned in! Thanks so much! Snacks- We also do not have any snacks for the afternoon. If you would consider donating 24 snacks to our class I know the students would really appreciate it. Our lunch is early and an afternoon snack really is appreciated. Picture Day- Picture Day is 9/25 Please feel free to contact me at julierobinson@mooreschools.com if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks, Julie Robinson
