I was so glad many of you were able to come to our "Meet and Greet" Friday! So many smiling faces and many students ready to get back to school. Well I am too! I look forward to meeting everyone of you Monday morning.
This year we will be in a three man team. I will teach the literacy (reading and language), Mr. Brown will teach the math and Ms. Kitchens will teach Science. Students will be able to get some very focused lessons this way. That being said, students will need to be well organized throughout their day. To the right you will find a supply list that will help your students be organized and focused throughout their school day.
The first week 2 weeks of school students will work of rituals and routines of the school and classroom. You may not see all aspects of reading and writing, such as their reading logs, reading textbook etc. come home the first week or even the second. I will slowly roll out each part so students can get a firm understanding before adding something more to their plate.
We will also be administering beginning year baseline assessments to know where each student is so we can differentiate our teaching to help each student the best we can!
You should see a blue folder coming home the first day with important paper. Please return the folder and information cards etc by the end of the week.
Students should also receive a planner or agenda to use nightly to write down homework and to be used as a communication tool between school and home. So please sign the planner nightly and write any questions or concerns and I will get back to you quickly. I look forward to working with all of you this year!
Until next time,
R. O'Steen
