Wednesday Folders 10/1/08

This week in the Wednesday folders, please be on the lookout for Scholastic book orders due on 10/7/08 (the past book order is in. The students have the books on their desks, thanks for ordering online!), a science safety contract that needs to be signed by a parent and the student, and a letter from Writers in the Schools (WITS). WITS is a wonderful program that our PTO pays for and we have a specialized writer who comes to our room every week for one hour to work with the students and their writing. It is so much fun and at the end of the school year the students put together an anthology and you will be invited to hear all the students read one of their creative works.

Also on Wednesday, progress reports are coming home. There are more social studies and math grades, than science. Don't worry, we are working on science right now, so there will be more grades before the end of the nine weeks. Usually I will have between 6-7 grades for science.

If you have any questions please feel free to email me at jbronste@houstonisd.org

Thanks, Jamie Sawyer

Wednesday Folders 9/24/ 08

I orginally said I wouldn't be sending home Wednesday folders, but Ms. Melville has work to send home. So the blue folders will be coming home this Wednesday.

Progress Reports have changed from this Wednesday, 9/24/08 to next Wednesday 10/1/08.

Wednesday Folders

I finally had my first visit to my classroom since I left on Open House evening. Thank you for all the Wednesday folders that came back so quickly on Thursday 9/11. I did notice that some parents sent back the purple half sheet without the graded work attached. Please make sure to send back the entire packet which consist of the graded work and the purple half sheet. I need both for my files. All graded work will go back with you child at the end of the nine weeks. So eventually all the graded work will become yours, if desired.

If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks, Mrs. Sawyer

Media Release Forms

I will be sending home in the Wednesday folder (Sept 3), media release forms so I can put your child's picture on my blog. Please try to return them as soon as possible. If you wish to not have your child on the blog just mark the correct box on the media release form. Thanks for your cooperation. Jamie
