Tuesday Newsday ~ Ms. Parker

Communication
Just a reminder that the best way to reach me is through my school email jparker@casdk12.net. If emailing is not handy for you, you may also give me a call at 344-3500 ext 3105.
Book Bags
Friday our first book bags will come home. Students will choose two good fit books to bring home and read over the weekend. There is a small reflection sheet that each student/family needs to fill out for each of the books brought home. The book bags will go home on Friday and be due the following Monday. I am looking for a little feed back as far as the time that these are assigned. Does it work better for families to have the books for the week? Or is the weekend allow ample time to read and reflect on these books? Please jot me a note and stick it in the book bag or shoot me an email.
Scoot Pad
Scoot Pad is the new math website that we will be using as a skill reinforcement tool to our math curriculum in the classroom. This is a site that can be logged into from home using their school logins. Logins are the first letter of the first name followed by the last name and graduation date (24).

Book It
Our class is all signed up for the Pizza Hut Book-It program. All returned October Reading calendars will be rewarded with a Book-It coupon. :)

We could still use donations of Kleenex, table wipes and hand sanitizer.
