Friday Update 8/22/2014

Dear Parents,

Welcome to the new school year (and my first email of many)!!!! I am so excited to say we have had the most amazing days at school thus far, and I know they will only get better as the days pass. Here are just a few updates as we end our week:

1.       Dismissal is organized by direction of travel. There will now be a half-sheet of paper to place in your window to aid in organizing our dismissal.
a.       If you are heading eastbound (towards the ocean), please make sure you are at the blue overhang.
b.      If you are heading westbound (towards I95), please make sure you are at the original silver overhang.
c.       If you are still unsure about this procedure, please do not hesitate to ask.

2.       Next week we will begin academic instruction, with homework. I will send another e-mail out to advise about any important events.

3.       Engrade codes were sent home yesterday with a sheet explaining how to make an account. If you need help, please let me know.

4.       Class DOJO codes were also sent home. Please create a parent account so you may keep track of your child’s daily behavior. Our “official” first week will begin on Monday. Tomorrow I will be rewarding ALL of my students for an excellent week with a small treat!

5.       I will be updating my website regularly, so please be sure to stop by! www.msweissbaum.blogspot.com

6.       If you have not done so already, please check out our Wish List on my website. We are in need of a few items that are hugely beneficial to our classroom. If you are interested in donating, please let me know. The top two right now are:
a.       A gift card to Dollar Tree to purchase ClassDOJO rewards. If I cannot purchase items, the students will not be able to receive any prizes beginning next Friday! L
b.      Additionally, we are in need of a class set of pronged folders for our morning work. I imagine we can buy in bulk. Here is a link to a box of 25, assorted colors. http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/552456/Office-Depot-Brand-Twin-Pocket-Portfolios/ (FULFILLED!!!!)


As mentioned at my Meet the Teacher night, I am always remembering more items immediately after I send an email! So expect more soon… J I am always here to help! Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and I can address them to the best of my ability!

Best,

Ms. Weissbaum
