Week of 9-3-7

Dear Parents and friends,


We have just completed our first week of school and the students and I are settling into our routine. I have enjoyed getting to know their individual personalities and talents and am anticipating a tremendous year together!


Just a reminder…Curriculum Night for Fifth grade is Thursday, September 6th at 7:00 at Prairieview. The evening will begin with an introduction by Mrs. Schultz, followed by a meeting in our classroom, during which we will review topics such as curriculum, expectations and daily schedules. You will also have the opportunity to sign up for parent conferences. We will conclude the evening with a visit with your child’s math teacher. I look forward to seeing all of you!
We spent this week getting to know each other, and organizing for the coming year. Highlights included a scavenger hunt in the Social Studies textbook, writing an acrostic poem about first impressions of fifth grade, and an autobiographical poem.


The office has requested that any items that come to school in an envelope be marked with the child's name, teacher's name, grade, and purpose (lunch tickets, field trip money, etc.). This is helpful in avoiding confusion regarding these items!


Please enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday weekend, and I hope to see you at Curriculum Night!
Sincerely,
Miss Trefonas
