Our first official day as Fourth Graders has come and gone! Today your student took their first Spalding Test, learned about reading maps, and learned many procedures for our classroom and for the school. Mrs. LaVell and I are both eager for another day of learning tomorrow, and for many days to come after.
As you prepare your child for the following days of the school year, there are a couple housekeeping notes to keep in mind:
- It is hot, hot, hot! If possible, please send your child to school with a reusable water bottle each day. This helps them stay hydrated throughout the day while not making them miss class time to get a drink from the water fountain.
- Please note that the MPR will be treated as a silent study hall in the afternoons during pick-up. Students will be expected to work on homework quietly while they wait to be picked up. Make sure your child brings a book to read during this time for the days they may not have homework, or if they finish their homework early.
- Tomorrow is our first day of P.E.! Students are expected to wear all black athletic shoes to comply with dress code. Please reference the Archway Arete Uniform Policy to make sure your child is properly outfitted!
Lastly, our classroom is well-stocked with most supplies thanks to the generous families of 4C! In order to maintain a clean and healthy learning environment, our classroom will go through tissues and disinfectant wipes often. We will gratefully accept donations of either of these items throughout the school year. You will also be notified if need arrises for any other materials or supplies as the year progresses.
Many of you have emailed to ask about subscribing to our class blog. I have updated the blog so you may now enter your email address if you would like to subscribe so you don't miss a post. As always, you may reach out to myself or Mrs. LaVell if you have any further questions or concerns.
Kindest Regards,
Mrs. Conforti
