Miss Taylor’s Monday Memo
August 31, 2015
Great to meet you!
Homework
Thank you so much to all the families
who attended Back to School Night
and Open House. I enjoyed getting
to meet each of you and am
looking forward to a great year
working together!
Please encourage your child to
take responsibility and ask you to
sign their agenda book each night.
In addition to any homework sheets
assigned, students should be
reading each night. Thank you for
your support and helping your child
get into the homework routine!
Please complete and return the First
Day Folder (in the Monday folder).
What’s happening this week
Reading – We will be focusing on
choosing a “good fit” book and
exploring the class library. Students
will also work on an All About Me
“Selfie” Project. We will also begin
DRA tests.
Math – We will begin our graphing
unit and focus on pictographs, bar
graphs, and line plots.
