Birthdays
-Invitations. In order to pass out invitations in class, there must be an invitation for all students. If there are not enough for the class, invitations will be sent back home.
-Snacks. We are asking for small cupcakes, cookies, small ice cream cups, etc. instead of large cupcakes. Please email 24 hours in advance if you would like to bring in a snack for the class. We have 19 students.
Homework
Homework will be sent home today. Homework will review content students learned the previous week. Weekly homework packets are sent home every Friday and are due the following Friday. The homework packet will be placed in your child’s folder. Please help your child with homework each night and space it out throughout the week so that your child isn’t overwhelmed. Your child should also be focusing on their sight word lists. The purpose of homework is to practice skills learned and build responsibility.
Please make sure your child completes their homework in pencil.
Please be practicing sight words as daily homework. Your child should practice one list at a time. Once that list is mastered, you can move onto the next list. It is important that your child be able to read these words in any order. Your child should be practicing spelling and writing them as well. Spelling and writing their sight words are not part of the monthly assessment, but will help them improve in their writing.
Sight Words
Students will be assessed on Wednesday,October 11th and 25th
The expectation is that each student passes one list a month. If your child passes at least one list a month, they will earn a reward at the end of the month.
Character Trait
At Plato Academy we believe in developing the whole child which is why we focus on a character trait each month.
Responsibility is doing your best and taking ownership for your words and actions.
Field Trips
Don't miss out!! We will be experiencing so many fun field trips this year!
First field trip will be Friday November 10th to Dinosaur World!
You must be level 2 cleared to be able to chaperone field trips. If you need more information on how to become level 2 cleared, please email [email protected]
Attendance
If your student will be absent, please remember to email the teacher and Ms. Johnson ([email protected]) each day your student is out. Please indicate the reason (ex: my child does not feel well today). If no reason is given, it will be marked as unexcused.
Water bottles & Snacks
Please have your child bring their water bottles to school. Water bottles help to cut down on trips to the water fountain during learning time. Water bottles are used in the classroom, and on the playground and can be taken to lunch. We have two snacks every day. Please make sure your child packs enough snacks.
