The first week of school we went around the school searching for Pete the Cat. We learned different places around our school building. We found Pete and he left us a nice treat. 

Please remember how important it is to label everything your child brings to school.

This way if anything is misplaced it is easier to find the right owner and get the items to the right place. 

Letters and Sounds we learned so far.

Six Day Cycle Calendar

Check your child's special schedule to see what they have each day.

One of the most difficult things to teach your children to do is to tie their shoes. I found this great video that may help. It is a different, and I think easy, way to tie your shoe. Maybe it will help your child. This video was made by Ross Elementary PTA.

What Is W.I.N. Time?

.

"What 

I 

Need"

 
          W.I.N. stands for "what I need" and it's a set time during the day where students get instruction tailored to their individual needs.  We have both a Math WIN time as well as an ELA (English/Language Arts) WIN time daily.  We use data from district assessments and classroom observations to determine the skills each student needs to work on and then group them with students of similar needs.  Each WIN time block is a half hour outside of core curriculum instruction where they will be doing activities in a smaller group to work to strengthen their skills.  We have several math, reading, and instructional support teachers who work with our grade level, so your child may stay with their homeroom teacher, or go with one of the other teachers for WIN time.  The groups are flexible as well, so as the year progresses, your child's group may change as their needs do.   Please always feel free to contact your child's teacher should you ever have any questions.
