Good afternoon! :) Here are some quick reminders for our upcoming crazy week. 

*Early Release on Tuesday, the 22nd. The students will be dismissed at 12:30 pm.  

Roberts Parents:

In anticipation of our early dismissal scheduled for Tuesday, September 22, I wanted to give you some guidance on the dismissal process for this altered schedule day. Lunch will be served on an altered schedule. Student check-out for early leave will end at 11:30am.

Parent Pick-Up:  All students will be released from classrooms. Parents will go to the classrooms beginning at 12:15pm to pick-up students.  Please enter from the door by the dismissal area.   Once you have picked up your child(ren), we ask that you exit the building quickly so that we can begin moving carpool and bus riders to the designated areas.

Independent Walkers:  No change in procedure.  We will begin releasing students at 12:30pm.

Carpool:  No change in procedure.  We will begin calling students for carpool promptly at 12:30pm.

Buses:  No change in procedure.  We will begin releasing bus students at 12:30pm.

If you are designating someone other than the person who regularly picks up your child for pick-up on this day, please email the teacher (no later than Monday).  Also, make sure the person picking up the student knows the teacher name and/or the grade level.  We want to make sure that pick is easy and quick!

Remember there is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, September 23^rd.  As always, thank you for your support.

*Classes resume Thursday and Friday as usual, so please come! :)

Happy Labor Day!  I hope you all had a fun and relaxing weekend. 
Here are the upcoming objectives and dates for the week:

*Curriculum Night on Thursday: Meet in the Cafeteria at 6:00 pm.  There will be a short meeting with Ms. Epps and then you will make your way to my classroom for a meeting with me.  I hope to see you all there!

Math: This week we are covering multiplication.  We will review with the students how to multiply by two digit numbers this week.  On Friday, there will be a test on all of the objectives we have covered so far this year.  Your child has notes in their math journals to review as well as any of the videos I have posted on my blog.  Here are two videos on multiplication: Multiplication by 1-digit numbers  Multiplication by 2-digit numbers

Reading: This week we are beginning our first Book Clubs.  The students will be assigned a book to read with their groups and required to keep up with their 'bookmarks' that focus on specific skills.  This bookmark will focus on developing questions and summarizing the text. Your kids brought home their first Spelling list Monday. Both Spelling and Wordly Wise tests are on this Friday.

Science: We are beginning our unit on Matter and its properties.  We will focus on what matter is, what it isn't, the main states of matter, and changes in states of matter.  Here are some great videos to review for Matter.  
Study Jams Science You will see scrolling topics under science.  Find the one on Matter.  The three videos I suggest are: Properties of Matter, Solids Liquids Gases, and Physical and Chemical Changes in Matter.

Social Studies: We are continuing our unit on Early Explorers and also covering essential map skills, which despite technological advances, really come in good use!
