Dear Room 13 Families,

It has been great getting to know your children this past week. I really feel that we have a special group and I am looking forward to having an exciting year of learning and growth. Thank you for all of the supplies that have been coming in!!! I am always amazed at the generosity and support of our families here at Mar Vista. The only things we are really in need of are art supplies (sculpy clay, shrinky-dink paper and water color paper).

Please check in with your child about their spot for homework. I gave students a homework folder (if they needed/wanted one). Other students had a folder in their binders for homework. Please check in with your child, to ensure that they are keeping their things organized and that you know where there homework spot is. If your child needs a homework folder, let me know and I can give them one. Each week I will be giving students a homework chart (that they will fill in daily). On the reverse side will have the vocabulary words for the week. There is daily vocab/spelling homework, nightly reading (30 min) and daily math. There will occasionally be other homework, reports or projects. Please sign the homework chart on Thursdays!

This week we will begin math (we will be splitting our classes for math beginning on Tuesday). Please look for a letter this week for more details about math class.

Many Thanks,

Ms. Sara

P.S. Last Friday, your child should have brought home a half sheet of paper regarding the PE program. Let me know if you need another copy. Our PE Days are Monday, Thursday and Friday
