It was so nice to visit with so many people at Conferences on Thursday . The next round is set for Wednesday, November 4. One day prior to the conference the directions for ZOOM along with the meeting ID will be sent home along with an outline of the Conference.
On Friday of this week we will officially be done with 1/4 of the school year! Pacing wise I'm right where I'd like to be as far as curriculum. I still feel this sense of urgency that we need to do more to make up for the time off last Spring. Please be sure your child is reading for at least 20 minutes each evening. Show your PV Spirit with Dress Up Days Monday 11/2- Pajama Day Tuesday 11/3- USA Day wear Red, White and Blue Wednesday 11/4- Unity Day wear Orange or Camouflage Thursday 11/5- Jersey/Sport Day Friday 11/6- No School

On Friday morning I received a phone call that one of my former students had arrived home after being deployed with the United State Army for the last 374 days. He would be arriving at school around 8:30 a.m. What made this homecoming even more special is that his daughter is one of my current students. She had no idea that this event would take place and it truly was one of the most special moments in my 35 years of teaching. Probably one of the best parts of it was when other students saw her dad. They did not ruin the moment by saying anything. They let her discover it for herself when he slowly walked out of PV towards our group which had assembled by the flag pole. Another example of the special class that these students continue to display.
I'm very excited to share with you via ZOOM on Thursday and the again next week at Parent Teacher Conferences. If you were having trouble signing up just email me. I can add your name to the list and share with you the times that are available. I will be sending home a paper copy of an outline of our meeting. Have it handy so you can write notes on it. That is what you would have done had we been in person. More information about the ZOOM session will be sent out. There will be a waiting room set up, and I'm asking you to enter it when you are scheduled. Please be on time. Our session will last 20 minutes. If we need more time then I can call you back. They are digging!!! That's right just beyond our classroom walls the new PV is being built. I plan on using the building in a variety of Math problems.
PT Conferences are next week. Only half of the class parents have signed up to attend. This is an optional event but in the past I typically have 100% attending. This year it will be on Zoom so really hoping you can take the 20 minutes to attend this event. Sign up is on Skyward. A reminder has been put in your child's agenda. Cold Weather: Yes the cold weather has found us. Thank you for sending your child to school in a warm coat, gloves and hats. Boots will be needed when it snows which by the sound of it is this week. What.....only 2 days of school this week? I thought the same thing. Yes, it's already the MEA break. It seems like we just get started and then another break of some sort. Something I'd like your child to do daily during break are the following routines:
READ FOR 20 MINUTES DAILY repeat it twice. PRACTICE THEIR SET OF FLASHCARDS, (2,3,5) LOOK FOR WAYS TO PRACTICE MEASURING AREA LOOK FOR WAYS TO SHOW DIVISION I am so excited to see my students again in person. I thought the "remote learning" went well but it's not something I hope we have to do again. I really think the live learning time on ZOOM made a big difference in sharing the material. Please make sure everything minus the worksheets should be returned to school on Monday.
September for me has always been a tough month because so much energy is spent on routine. It seems like I just blinked and September is now in the rear view mirror. This coming week we'll take some tests to determine what Reading and Math level your child is at. This information will be shared at Parent Teacher Conferences later this year. (October 29 and November 4. More information on that will be coming soon. Thank you for your help during Remote Learning. PT CONFERENCE SIGN UP . Sign up directions can be found on your weekly update from Mrs. Froiland or by going to your skyward account. |
