Help, Please!

Parents,

I need your help! On October 18 and 20 we will be having Parent/Teacher Conferences from 3:05-6:05. One thing the school district would like is for parents to take a survey while they are at school. It is my job to see that the survey is taken and that we have a good turn out to take the survey. However, I will be having conferences with some of you! I need some volunteers to direct people to the computer lab and have them fill out a slip to be entered in a drawing for prizes. If you would be willing to do this please let me know what day and time would work for you. You can send me an email or send a note to school with your child. Thanks in advance for your help!

Social Studies Update

Parents,

Beginning Monday (9-12-11) we will start learning the states, capitals, abbreviations, and locations of the states in the Northeast Region of the US. These states include:

·        Maine

·        New Hampshire

·        Vermont

·        New York

·        Pennsylvania

·        Massachusetts

·        Rhode Island

·        Connecticut

·        New Jersey

·        Delaware

Students will get a study guide on Monday with the state name, capital, and abbreviation code. They will have approximately 2 weeks to learn these. Please encourage them to study these at home. If they will study a few each night, they’ll know them in no time flat!

          The first time they take a test like this it is obvious who studied and who didn’t. I want ALL students to be successful in school and will encourage them to study each night. We will not be spending a lot of class time reviewing this information. However, It will be talked about briefly each day.

          Social Studies is my favorite subject and I hope the students enjoy it too!
