Mrs. Nunnery's News

Hi Everyone!

We've had a great first week of school and are off to a wonderful start to the year! I will use this class blog to share info, reminders, and pictures of things we are doing in the classroom. 

Thank you so very much for all of the supplies you have sent in. My cabinets and cubbies are well stocked and I hope to not have to ask for donations for a while! 

A few reminders to start the year:

-Please return forms ASAP (emergency card, early release form, parent questionnaire, permission to buy "extras" in the cafeteria)

-school starts at 7:55am , students are expected to be unpacked and in their seats at that time

-all doors to all buildings are locked once the school day begins, to get in the main building push the button and someone in the office will let you in

For now, the only 2 things I'm assigning for homework are to read independent books for 20 minutes and practicing multiplication facts for automaticity.  Students should be reading the same book at home and at school. Students can use flash cards, computer games, verbal quizzes, or anything else that works for your family to make sure they  have MEMORIZED their multiplication facts through 10's.  

Occasionally students will be assigned homework if they didn't complete an assignment in class. If I feel they worked hard and used time wisely in class I will not send unfinished work home. If they didn't finish an assignment because they weren't focused, wasted class time, etc, they will bring home the assignment with a yellow slip on the front explaining any 
instructions.

You should have received an email from me with our class rules and consequences. Here is another copy for your reference. 

1. BE KIND.
2. BE SAFE.
3. BE RESPECTFUL & POLITE.
4.  LISTEN  & FOLLOW DIRECTIONS.
5. FOCUS ON YOURSELF & DO YOUR BEST.

If a student breaks a rule they will get 1 reminder/warning. If the rule is broken again they will get a strike. This will be a yellow slip of paper explaining their actions and which rule they broke.

1 strike= 10 minutes of silent lunch

2 strikes= 20 minutes of silent lunch

3 strikes= silent lunch and phone call home/possible office referral

Important dates:

July 26       Parent Info Night 5:00-5:30 OR 5:45-6:15

July 31       T shirt orders due

Aug 22       Early release @ 11:35am

Lastly, at anytime this year if you have questions or concerns regarding your child please let me know. Email is probably the quickest and easiest way to get in touch with me. The only time I wouldn't use email is if your child's transportation plans change during the school day. I may or may not get an email about a change in time for dismissal.  IF YOUR CHILD'S TRANSPORTATION PLANS CHANGE DURING THE DAY, PLEASE CALL THE MAIN OFFICE, 919-732-6137.
