An exciting week ahead...

A few important reminders about the upcoming week:

* SEP's are Wednesday and Thursday night from 4:30-7:30 pm. School will dismiss at its regular time. I am required to meet with every parent. If you are unable to attend your child's SEP please contact me as soon as possible so we can make other arrangements.

*We have begun our first rotation for Spelling! Since we will not have school on Friday, spelling tests will be given on Thursday. Don't forget to do your homework every night!

* READ for 20 minutes every night! I will be having a breakfast party for the students that turn in their reading calendars for last week and this week. They must be initialed by a parent! Stay tuned for more information.

* No school on Friday September 4th and Monday September 7th :)

Welcome to Miss Holloway's Class blog!

Welcome to our class! We have been working hard for two whole weeks. Our year is off to an excellent start! I will be using this blog to help communicate with parents and students from home. In years past I have made a weekly newsletter that was sent home every Monday. Last year realized that the newsletter wasn't making it all the way home and was not serving its purpose to inform parents of what we are doing in class. I'm hoping this will be a more effective way to get information to you quickly and efficiently.

This week's word wall words are:
school
pencil
folder
read
homework

Please help remind your child to read every night for at least 20 minutes. Students that turn in their signed reading calendar for the next two weeks will be invited to a special breakfast party here at school! Read, read, read!
