Weekly Reminders: Rooms 20 & 21
Dear Room 20 & 21 Parents,
As we finish up the month of September, there are many subjects that require some type of concluding activity before our October break begins. It will be important for students to use their time wisely both inside and outside of school. Checking homework sheets before leaving school, packing appropriate study materials, and reviewing assignments when arriving at home will be key elements in proper preparation and study. Concentrate on reviewing information for Science and Social Studies over the next 2-3 evenings; doing some work each day will help your son or daughter retain the information. And, as always, proper rest, exercise, and nutrition will give each person's mind the optimum conditions for school. Good luck to all this week!
Thank You For Helping!
A big thank you to Mrs. Alam, Mrs. Verma, Mrs. Yenuganti, and Mrs. Suria for helping with our California Salt Dough map project in social studies. These volunteers made dough and volunteered their time throughout the two day project. The maps look great, and we couldn't have done it without you!

The Reminders for Sept. 20-24
Weekly Reminders: Rooms 20 & 21
Dear Room 20 & 21 Parents,
We return to our normal school schedule this week- hooray! As with any transition, we all need to be prepared to give our 100% best effort in the afternoons during our different subject lessons. Making sure to eat a good lunch, exercise and socialize with friends at lunch, and come prepared with all needed materials will be key to afternoon success! In general, this is the point in the year where we should all be settling into more of a regular study routine; recording our work, checking our items due for the next day, and organization of our tasks (along with extracurricular activities) will now be more of a habit for all of us. As a result, we can really show our "score 4" capabilities each and every day!
Thank You
We had a great time meeting with all of you during conferences! It's such a positive time to sit down, share, and communicate ideas between teachers, students, and parents. Thank you for taking time out of your busy day for these very important meetings.

Weekly Reminders: Rooms 20 & 21
Dear Room 20 & 21 Parents,
Our conferences will be drawing to a close this week; it is definitely a worthwhile experience to meet and talk with all of our students and their families! This is really a special opportunity for students, parents, and teachers to share their questions, ideas, and suggestions with one another. I know that we can all work together to meet our goals and make this school year a productive, fun experience. Don't forget that we remain on an early dismissal schedule this week, and that Friday is a Learning Day for teachers- kids get the day off from Portal!

Conferences have been going very well so far! Thank you for taking the time to discuss and share your child's interests and goals.

We look forward to finishing the rest of our conferences this week with the parents we haven't talked to yet.

Parent Volunteer Opportunity!
We have our first opportunity for parent helpers in the classroom and for helping with a project at home. We will be making salt dough maps of California. We will need some parents to make the dough for the class ahead of time at home. If you would like make dough, please contact Miss Scourkes. Then, on Wednesday, Sept. 22 from 8:50-9:50 and 12:30-1:30 and Thursday, Sept. 23 from 12:30 - 2:50 we will need volunteers in the classroom.
