Thank you for working with us on this.

Enrollment: There are 18 students in the morning. One student joins us for the afternoon in the K-1 program. There are 10 first graders and 8 second graders, 12 boys (with K-1) and 7 girls.
Book Check-Out: I’ve already started the students on their classroom book checkout system. Only one book should be home at a time. As soon as the book is read and returned to the classroom, the student can check-out a new book. When a student completes reading 50 books from the classroom library at home, a Barnes and Noble gift certificate will be presented to the student. I’m asking students to read at home one hour per week. This is important for continued growth in reading skills. Several students are already amassing a row of stars on the reading chart for books checked out and read at home.
Email: If you would like me to send you this weekly note to your email address, please sign up with me at vcana@tcja.org. It will also come home in hardcopy in your child’s homework folder as usual.
Volunteers: Several parents are devoting time to our classroom. It is SUCH a blessing! Thank you to each one. We are a very busy room especially as the children settle into the demands of a new grade. Helping hands are much appreciated.
PE: Mrs. Short is teaching 1st and 2nd grade PE this year from 2:30-3:00 Monday thru Thursday. The students have been good about remembering appropriate shoes for running.
