Dismissal Changes
Any changes in your child’s dismissal will need to
be made by 10:00 a.m. that morning with a call to
the office or a signed and dated note from you in
your child’s red folder. Please do NOT email me the
changes since I may not always able to check my
email during the day.
September 2015
We Are Learning...
During the month of September we will
be discussing citizenship, responsibility,
and famous Americans. Our first science unit
will be on biomes. In Math, we will be reviewing
ordinal #’s and skip counting by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s.
We also will be working on patterns, addition with
missing addends, and addition/subtraction facts.
As this information is taught and worksheets are
sent home, please review these skills with your
child.
Communication
I am available whenever you need to discuss
questions or concerns that you have about your
child. Please don’t hesitate to call or email me any
time. I can be reached via the school phone at 703957-4350 or via email at Elizabeth.carrig@lcps.org.
I look forward to hearing from you!
In October, we will be learning about place value
and rounding in Math, and maps and globes in Social
Studies.
What Can You Do to Help?
WELCOME! I’ve been very excited to come
back to school and prepare for another
wonderful school year. I look forward to
adding to the “Ms. Carrig’s Class Family” and
getting to better know you and your children
over the next few months. Let’s work together
to make this the best school year yet!
At the start of this school year, your role in
your child’s education is always essential. Reading
at home nightly with them, checking their
homework, and helping prepare for upcoming
spelling and content tests is important to their
success. You can also volunteer in the classroom
this year. This is a great way to get to know your
child’s classmates and help them learn.
Information was given at Back to School Night
about how you can volunteer. If you already turned
that form in – THANK YOU and stay tuned!
MMM…SNACK TIME!!!
Please note that we will be having a brief
snack time each morning. If your child wishes
to participate in snack time, please remember
to pack a daily snack that is easily accessible
in your child’s backpack. Please note when
packing snack that we have children in our
class allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and citrus
fruit.
Please note: In an effort to go paperless, all future
monthly newsletters will be available on my bio page
of the HFES webpage. Don’t forget to check them
out on the first Fri of every month!
