I hope everyone had a great time this week for Moon Festival. I enjoyed an excellent BBQ and enjoyed many moon cakes! Last Friday I sent home some play dough that we made in class and I hope everyone had a chance to play with it. If you have an opportunity you could ask your child to spell their name with it. We have done this many times at school and any time spent at home reinforcing what I do in the classroom will significantly benefit your child. I have begun this week doing my first assessments of the students. My first assessment is a basic understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each student. This then allows to me see what we need to focus on in the coming months.
Reminders and Notices
- October 11th is a professional development day for teachers and there will no school.
- The school provides lunch trays for the students and sometimes they are easier then the bowls that are sent with them. I am not enforcing it but I thought you might like to know.
