Dear Parents,
I want to begin this note with a thank
you to my room parents for coordinating a great party after our parade on
Thursday. Thanks also to everyone who contributed
to, and joined us for the parade and party.
It was a fun afternoon and the children enjoyed this Tuckahoe
tradition.
It is hard to believe that Monday will be the
end of the first quarter. The children
have made many changes since September which can be seen in all parts of their
day. For the most part, everyone is used
to the daily routines, the homework procedures, and done well with test
taking. The pace of our studies will
begin to increase (just a bit) during the second quarter. I am confident that
the children will be able to meet these new challenges if they keep doing the
good job they have done to date. I would
like to remind you to remind your child to review his or her assignment
notebook. Most homework that is being
missed is simply due to the fact that the child referred to memory vs.
checking the notebook. Finally, once
work is done, please pack and return all completed work and tools for return to
the classroom.
I
would like to remind everyone to let me, as well as Mirna Lopez (mirna.lopez@apsva.us) our attendance
secretary, know if your child will be out for the day. This can be done by email the day they are
out. After your child returns to school,
they will have both class work and homework to make up. They will be given extra time to make
up any missed work.
As you know we are headed to the
Outdoor Lab on Monday. Please remember
to send your child to school with a bag lunch, including a drink. There is NO food service at the lab. Also it is usually 10-15 degrees cooler up on
the mountain, so be sure your child is dressed in layers, with closed toe
shoes. We are looking forward to
spending the day outside and learning about simple machines.
