A few more updates...

I am looking forward to meeting with you at Parent Teacher Conferences this week!  Feel free to come a little early to look through our class books outside of our classroom.  You will also have the opportunity to write your child a note and put it on his/her desk!  They will love the surprise note in the morning.

We will be having a Scholastic Book Fair this week at school.  The book fair will even be open during Parent-Teacher Conferences!!!  We will preview the book fair on Tuesday.  Students will write a wish list indicating some of their favorite books.  I will send your child's wish list home on Tuesday.  We will return to the book fair on Thursday to purchase books.  If you are interested in purchasing books, please include 6% sales tax and make checks out to Bauer Parent Club.  We will shop from 10:00-10:30 on Thursday.  

Tomorrow we will begin the Scholastic Reading Counts program (SRC).  Your child will bring home an SRC book bag.  Inside the bag will be a book at their just right level (one of their library books), a bookmark, a letter explaining all the details of SRC, and a reading log.  Please make sure to sign the reading log each night your child reads at home.  Your child will need to read 20 minutes a night/5 days a week.  They will take a quiz on only ONE book a week.  That means when they have read their library book, they can read books from home for the rest of the week.  Library books will still be due on Tuesdays.  If your child is still reading a library book, they can renew that book on Tuesday.  Let me know if you have any questions about SRC.  We will spend a LOT of class time next week practicing all of our SRC routines.  I am excited to get started!!!
