Finally, the first Monday of the school year!
The kids rocked today, and I think we are really starting to "find our feet" on our paths together.
Just a heads up, this Thursday is Back to School Night, starting at 6:00-8:00. The 5th grade team is planning on having three presentations from 6-6:30, 6:30-7, and 7:-7:30.
Session 1: Homeroom teacher 6:-6:30
Session 2: Math Teacher 6:30-7:00
Session 3: Homeroom teacher (repeat) 7:-7:30
7:30-8:00 Encore Teachers
If your child has me for homeroom and me for math, than plan on being here from 6-7 or 6:30-7:30. If you are unable to attend, let me know and I can send the powerpoint presentation to you for more information. I will be discussing our overall schedule for the year as well as expectations for parents (for example, what to do when your child is sick, snacks, passes, reading at home, BYOD, homework, etc)
Afterwards, please connect with one of your child's encore teachers, as they will love talking to you as well :)
If there is anything specific that you would like me to touch on, please let me know.
You may already be touching on this in the Math presentation, but pointing out the main differences between Everyday Mathematics and Bridges in Mathematics in the classroom and at home would be very helpful since our kids have used Everyday Mathematics from K to 4th.

Briefly touching on what kids in band will need to do to make up what they miss for the two half hour sessions they will be out of class each week will be extremely helpful as well.
