Middle School Newsletter - The First Week!

Important

Please look for these newsletters every Monday. They will also be posted on my website online: www.cougarvilleclass.blogspot.com

Please sign your student's planner every night to ensure homework is being done promptly and they earn reading minutes. Feel free to leave notes for me.

I really look forward to speaking with you at Back to School Night this Thursday.

Upcoming Dates

 Izzy Tooinski will be entertaining students on Tuesday with juggling and storytelling!

Back To School Night is Thursday Aug. 27th. A free dinner will begin at 5:30 pm. My class presentation will begin at 7:05. Childcare on the playground will be provided (school rules apply).

New

This week we will be learning more about what's expected in the classroom. We will especially focus on how to respond in writing to articles we read at home.

We will begin earth science and world history.

Flag football begins this week. Permission slips were sent home with students who expressed interest.

Updates and Info

The first three days were great! Now onto a full week! We played autograph bingo, classroom treasure hunt and organized our binders. We ran the mile and took an assessment in math and reading. We also learned about masks in various cultures around the world and made our own metal masks which will be displayed by the end of the week. We began math.

A few of you have expressed interest in volunteering in the classroom or for special activities.  I can always use extra assistance in and outside of the classroom. With our small staff, every extra ounce of effort helps! Please check the attached sheet sent home with your student to indicate what you would be willing to do. 

Thank you!
