Curriculum Night is FAST approaching. I look forward to the opportunity to see each of you and welcome you into our classroom. Here are some of the details to help you plan.
What: Curriculum Night is an opportunity for you to learn more about your child's day-besides the special class she attended and who she sat next to at lunch. I will talk about our schedule, homework, differentiation, testing, our curriculum, parties and field trips. I will also have sign ups for conferences and volunteer opportunities.
When: Irving will be open on Thursday, September 16th from 6:30-8:30. I will give a brief presentation at 7:00. Please be on time for the presentation as it will cover a lot of information in a short amount of time.
Where: All of Irving is open.
Who: It is an awesome opportunity for you to see Special Area teachers, our Teacher Librarian, Mr. Hodge, Ms. Creehan, and the office staff including our nurse and social worker.
Why: Come because it shows your child YOU CARE about school. It lets your child know that we communicate and you understand the expectations. Classes with 80% attendance get a class party. If we get 90% attendance my class earns a Free Choice Friday. Students get to set the schedule after our reading test and it can include up to 40 minutes of recess! I am THAT confident that your participation will give payoffs all year in academic success.
How: Childcare is available in the auditorium during the presentation at 7:00. The timing of the presentation allows you to eat dinner and still get home at a decent bedtime.
Other stuff:
Ask your child about
- Dibels testing in the library
- Our Productive Thinking Book
- Xtra Math
See you Thursday!
