Dear Room 7 Families,

It was a pleasure to meet so many of you at Back-to-School Night last week. If you were unable to attend, I sent home information that you can peruse to become up to date about our happenings here at school. Please let me know if you have any questions about anything. The best way to keep informed is to subscribe to our blog posts. combosarecool.blogspot.com I will do my best to update on a weekly basis. 

Here's what we're up to this week:

Homework: Please make sure to listen to your child read and fill out your reading log each evening. I recommend a minimum of 15 minutes for first grade and 20 minutes for second grade. Reading logs are due each Friday.
Our word wall words for this week are: 

favorite, once, made, nice, yes

All first graders will have a reading quiz on these five words each Friday. Second graders will hvae a spelling quiz on each of the words each Friday. First graders who would like to challenge themselves and take our spelling quiz my do so. Please refer to the homework page I sent home. 

Bridges Home Connections books have already gone home with second graders. They will be sent home with first graders on Monday. Use this book at your discretion and at your own pace to support the math we do at school. Moby Max is another great math resource that your child can access at home. I sent program and login information home with you or your child last week. 

Second Grade: Permission slips for our field trip to Elkhorn Slough on October 13 are due ASAP. If you are planning to volunteer to drive, please make sure that you have a current TB test, fingerprints, volunteer driver form and accompanying documents all on file in the office by the end of September (or sooner!). 

Wish List: Many of you have asked about donating to our class. Thank you! I am always in need of tissues, paper towels, baby wipes or sanitizing wipes. The best way to support our classroom on top of these items is to make a cash donation which will help offset costs I have already incurred setting up our classroom, and help me to purchase supplies to support our art and science studies. Gift cards are always welcome as well. I often purchase supplies from Palace, Staples, and Target. Thank you so much for your support. 



Have a great week!

Caryn Allen
