Dear
Parents,
It is so good to have had the feel
of fall in the air this week! We are
well into our routines and the children are all working hard to keep up with
their responsibilities. I am very
pleased with their (and your) efforts to date.
Remember this is a process and perfection is not expected, rather trying
your best.
The children have been learning
about maps and globes in Social Studies.
In Math we continue to work with place value, how to identify numbers in
a variety of ways as well as adding larger numbers. In Language Arts the children have been
learning how to identify important information in non-fiction text, creating
visualizations, and looking for those robust words in writing that add color
and meaning to the text.
I appreciate all the offers of help
that I received at Back to School Night.
I will be reaching out to those of you who signed up if I have not
already done so. This also goes for
those of you who showed an interest to chaperone our field trip to the National
Building Museum. I am limited to five
adults on our bus so I may need to ask for volunteers to withdraw or to meet us
at the museum.
I would like to remind everyone that
the children might need a sweater or light jacket when they come to school as
the temperature begins to fall. This
will also mean reminders to bring these items home each evening. Please remember that we do go outside everyday,
and we would like for your children to be dressed appropriately for the
weather. Also, we are beginning to see
the first colds in the classroom. When
assessing your child’s ability to come to school with a cold, please remember
that we ask if your child has a fever that they stay at home, and not return
until they have been fever free for 24 hours.
If your child is sick and not coming to school, please call the
Attendance Line (703-228-8320) and report your child’s absence. Please know that in the classroom the
children are being reminded to wash their hands several times a day, as well as
to wipe down their desks a couple of times a week.
I hope everyone enjoys a relaxing weekend.
Sincerely,
Ms.
Coffman
