JUNE 2010

Happy Birthday to anyone born in the month of June.

We had a terrific time at the Very Special Arts Festival. We want to thank all the chaperones, our art teacher, and our bus driver, for helping us to make the day a great success. Our 100 bottles were used to make wind-fish. It was a very clever use for our bottles.

The final report card will go home during the last week of school. Some of the dates in the Blue Parent Handbook your child brought home in the beginning of the year have changed a little bit, due to our snow days.

GENERAL INFORMATION -

REMEMBER..... If your child has a scratchy throat due to allergies or a cold, you can send them in with cough drops or throat lozenges. You MUST have your child give them to the nurse, Mrs. Clevenger-Bell. They can go down to her office during the day, if they need one.

Also, if you would like to send your child in with a zippered sweater or sweatshirt to be kept in our room, that would be fine. They can put them in their cubbies. Sometimes, with the air on, it can get chilly.

Your children have homework/assignment books again this year. These books are our primary source of communication between home and school. Each and every day they will come home, to be looked at jointly, by you and your child, any work assigned done, signed by you, and returned the next day. My work will be written down, I will initial the book, so you know that the assignment is correct, and the cycle of home/school connection will be successfully completed.

Thanks to the parents and guardians who have been keeping an eye on the homework books and assignments. Most of the children have gotten into the habit of putting down their dates on each of the homework book page(s).

Whenever you have something you need me to know the next day, please jot me a quick note in the HW book, and I will get back to you as soon as possible, during the day. If you do not have a chance to jot something down, but feel there is something important I should know, you can always call the school, at 697-0220, and our secretary, Mrs. Darcy, will contact me.

I have a school e-mail address, which I endeavor to check daily; Lpaolella@franklintwpschools.org
You can contact me this way too. Please be aware that at times there are technical difficulties, and the mail does not get through...SO, the homework book and/or telephone message to the secretary is your surest bet. Also, my prep time, as it stands now, is after lunch, so if your question or request needs immediate attention, the phone call is the best option.

Homework-(This is for ALL subjects) Please have your child show you what they have done in class each night when homework is assigned. If they have gotten a certain problem/part/sentence wrong, please help them to see the mistake, and have them re-do the work. I am not saying that you should "do" it for them, but any extra reinforcement is such a help to them. You can even make up more of the same type of problems for your child to do. If you choose to do this, send in the paper, and your child can get extra points!

Skills for JUNE

Math- 4

Each Monday, we take a timed test... we started off with 10 mins. and aim to get down to 3,2,1 min(s). I've purchased, and sent home a pack of X's tables for each child to use for home practice. With some of the students, we can tell that they have indeed been studying. Thanks to you, their parents and guardians. They will be using/needing their X's table knowledge in division, fractions, and other areas of math, as the year progresses.
