Decorated Writer's Notebooks due on Tuesday

Hi,

I hope that you were able to stay dry over the weekend and that your friends and family around Texas are safe.

Because of the 2 Hour Delay, our day was a little mixed up.  The kids did an amazing job being flexible and working hard.  

Decorated Writer's Notebooks are due tomorrow (8/29).  The decorations should include:

            First name on the front

            Photos, drawings, stickers, etc.. of important people to student

            Photos, drawings, stickers, etc.. of important places to student

            Photos, drawings, stickers, etc.. of important things to student

RRISD has a motto this year that is "We are ONE Family".  We will include photos of the students' families, my family, our classroom family, our school family, etc.. They will be hung on the wall, so they may get lost or accidentally ruined, so please send us copies, not originals.  Thank you in advance!

Tomorrow, the students will receive a paper to fill out with your help.  It is about cultural awareness and family traditions.  We will use the information to display countries that our ancestors are from as well as to use later in the year for poetry, writing, and social studies. It will also help us to get to know each other better.  Please return the paper by Wednesday, if possible, so that we can create our map/bulletin board.

Be sure that your child is reading everyday and is recording reading on his/her reading logs in the homework folder.

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. 

Thanks,

Pam
