Hi Room 26 Crew Families!
I hope you are staying cool! It's going to be VERY hot at the beginning of this week, so please encourage your learner to wear shorts, bring a hat for outside, bring a water bottle and wear lightweight clothes. We'll be feeling the heat in our crowded classroom this week! As a reminder, please visit last week's post for the link to sign up for Goal Setting Conferences if you have not already done so. Also, I believe we'll be rescheduling the Room 26 Crew gathering for 10/16. Hang tight for another date down the road! Finally, I didn't receive any Scholastic Orders this month! I'm extending the date until 9/29 :) Don't forget to place your orders online--use the helpful links tab for our class code. Every dollar you spend gets us books for our own classroom! Don't forget the Science test this Tuesday. Speaking of Science, I posted Cell Song videos to our Class Dojo story. Be sure to sign in and check them out--we have very talented scientists/musicians among our crew. And on the subject of Dojo (I'm new to it as well, so we're learning together!), please confirm your learners account so he/she can track progress at home. At this point in time, everyone is excited to log on and change their avatar. Here's the "how to" on how to do that: https://classdojo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202739645-Customize-your-avatar-monster#web Have a great week and enjoy the 3 day weekend next weekend!

Hi Room 26 Crew Families!
I hope you all enjoyed a little sunshine and QT time with your families this weekend! As promised, above you'll find the link for October Goal Setting conferences! I also wanted to pass along the direct link to sign up for the PTA. Our class is currently at 48% (up15% from last week) and we would love to get to over 90% participation for our Room 26 crew. Your membership helps us fund field trips, art, technology in the classroom, PE equipment, and so on. Thank you for your consideration. I submitted my own membership on Friday! Thanks for signing up for PTA, conferences and for reading on below. Have a great week! REMINDERS/CALENDAR

As you experience events as a family (things that make you laugh, cry, jump up and down with excitement, etc), we call these "small seed moments". We think of our life and days as a big watermelon, but it's those little seeds that we really remember. Talk about those seed moments with your author, pulling out details of the moment. Storytelling is a part of writing and these seed ideas are beautiful jumping off points for narratives!
Hi Room 26 Crew Families!
Thank you to everyone who came to BTSN! I believe we had 100% parent attendance--thank you for being so supportive of our learners! I am still working on the sign up genius for October Goal Setting Conferences. I will have that out to you for sign ups by next weekend. Here's a peek into our week! REMINDERS/CALENDAR

As a follow up to my BTSN promise, I've created a growth mindset page on my website with a few images and the youcubed math link. Youcubed is free to join, is interesting for ALL ages, and helps our learners grow a growth mindset AND a more solid reasoning/number sense. Please check it out! Hi Room 26 Crew Families!
Welcome to the Gross Gazette! This will be your weekly peek into our week, including important reminders & announcements. I'll send out a link to this page on Sunday nights & you'll be able to revisit as many times as you need to across the week. (For those of you who use RSS feeds, you'll notice the orange button to the right.) We had a wonderful week with our crew and this week will be even better as we continue to grow our community. I look forward to seeing each of you at Back to School Night this Thursday from 6-7pm. We'll give a comprehensive overview of the year then, answer many questions you may have, and get to spend some quality time together. See you then! REMINDERS/CALENDAR

To support our growth mindset work in class, praise your learner on "productive struggles" and embracing the power of "YET". Praise your learner's brain growth when they make mistakes and share your OWN mistakes with them so they can understand how your brains grew too. :) |
