Hello,
I sent two forms today, the Rio del Mar Values packet and our P.E. rules and requirements sheet. Please sign each and return to school. Thanks.
I've told my students that they should be reading a chapter book (fiction, over 100 pages) for our first book report which will be due at the end of September. I will be assigning the report in about three weeks, and we will begin working on it in class then.
Beginning next week, I will be sending home graded work in a folder I will provide for each student. In this folder I will include a yellow half sheet which will let you know if your child has turned in all required assignments or if anything is missing. Please sign this sheet and send it back along with the folder the following day.
Everyone is settling in well - great behavior and wonderful attitudes!
Have a good week.

Mrs. Koue

Hello,
We had another great day and everyone is settling in well. Thanks for returning the school forms so quickly.
I sent home our first Scholastic Books order form today. I'm encouraging everyone to purchase books as Scholastic is very generous with giving free books and bonus points with its first-of-the-year orders. I'd love the opportunity to receive free books for my classroom library! You may have your child bring the book order to class, or you may order online. If you choose the online option, please enter the Parent Code: GNZFR and proceed from there.
Thanks!

Homework

Read: 30 min.
Math: Homework Book (HB) pg. 3; practice multiplication facts (ones missed on today's quiz)

Hello,
We had a terrific first day - it just flew by! I have a wonderful group of students, all very respectful and motivated. I am looking forward to a great year with them!
I plan to update my blog each day with information regarding homework, projects and important school news, so please check it regularly. Your child will also be recording homework assignments in his/her planner. Unless otherwise noted, homework is due the following day.
I sent home some important papers today, including the district's computer policy form and your child's emergency card. Please fill out and sign both of these and return them to school this week. Thanks so much.
Best regards,
Mrs. Koue
