Classroom Update for the Week of Thursday September 28-October 4

Hello Families!

It's hard to believe it's already fall and with that the weather has changed dramatically. Please make sure your kiddo comes to school each day prepared for our crazy weather. Here are just a few things to keep you all updated.

This Friday, September 29th is our Book It to the Creek assembly. The whole school will share in this amazing celebration of reading and fundraising. We can't wait!

FIELD DAY! Yes, Field Day in the fall. What better way to build strong classroom and peer relationships than cheering on our fellow classmates in some great outdoor fun! Primary grades will have their events in the morning and then the Creek Kid assembly honoring August/September Creek Kids will be held in the afternoon. It will be an action-packed day.
Please note that the deadline for submitting your child's lunch preference of hot dog/chips or bringing lunch from home has passed. Any families that didn't respond will need to make sure your child brings a lunch from home that day.

Readers Workshop--Guided reading groups are up and running this week. In order to meet the needs of all students and create targeted lesson for the kids, we will be creating reading groups that are mixed within both literacy classrooms (Ms. Hernandez and Mrs. Walker). This means that some of your kiddos will be receiving Guided Reading instruction from Mrs. Walker or Mrs. Burroughs (our Literacy Para). The 2nd grade literacy teachers group their students this way and found that their students grew greatly in their reading and writing skills. We are excited to see our kids' growth!

Field Trip--Our first field trip of the year is coming up on October 20th. More information will be coming home soon regarding specifics on time, place, cost, and any chaperones--if needed.

**Important--any student whose behavior clip is on RED three or more times between Thursday, September 27-Thursday, October 19th will not be allowed on the field trip, no exceptions. Please keep in mind that field trips are are an earned privilege and not a requirement. If your child's clip is on RED, we will be contacting you so you are aware. Thanks for your support and understanding.
