Welcome to the Staley Review! Fall Festival, Spelling,Volunteering, and Take Home Reading in this post.

Welcome to the blog for my class. I hope that all of you will become followers of the blog. I hope to keep up with the blog, even though I post at my other blogs with my hobby of reviewing books online. 

Some things to think about that are upcoming soon:

{Fall Festival} 

Thursday, September 21, 4:30pm – 7:30pm
Please buy your tickets and plan on coming to Eastlake's Fall Festival.This is such a fun event every year and we raise money
for our school. I will be there helping out around 4:30 right at the beginning. Come for the fun, games, and food.

{Spelling this Week}
I will be gone this Friday so I will be giving the spelling test on Thursday this week. Please have your child practice their words early on in the week so they'll be ready to take their spelling test Thursday morning. Thank you for your help with this. 



{DIBELS testing on Tuesday}
Please make sure that your child is at school on Tuesday. District people will be at Eastlake to test all students grades 1-3 on their reading skills. This test will be helpful to let us know how to help your child improve in their reading.

{Take Home Reading}

Take Home Reading Books were sent home for the first time last week. They were sent home in a gallon size baggie with a white piece of paper and your child's name on it. Please do not throw the baggie away. This is used to keep the books safe and transfer books upstairs to trade out old books for new titles. Also, make sure after your child has read the book that you, or whomever listened to the book being read, that they initial on the white paper next to the date of when the book was checked out to your child. A new book will not be sent home with your child until the paper has been signed. If a book is ever lost, you will need to send $6.00 to school to pay for the lost book before another book will be sent home with your child. I hope that this clears up any questions. Books will be traded out every Monday and Thursday.

{Volunteering-New Times Added}

Thanks to all of the volunteers that have come into the classroom and helped out. It means a lot to me and the children to have your there. I went into the September schedule and put in a few slots for the afternoon as per request from a few parents. I will also be adding more afternoon slots in October before the month starts.
