From Ms. Wagnon

I emailed a copy of this to you earlier today with pictures attaced.  I am also about to attach the pictures to the school's website since the pictures would take too much room on this post!


Dear CES Dragon Families,


We have had an awesome start to our 2010 school year. It is truly hard to believe that we have completed our first four weeks of school. There are many exciting things going on this year. This morning our cafeteria was full of dads and children for our All Pro Dad's kick off breakfast. Dads, if you were unable to attend, our next APD will be October 15th @ 7:00 A.M. We would be delighted if you can join us.

Our Newcomers luncheon and first PTO meeting was very well attended. I hope our new families were able to connect with some new friends. Thank you, PTO, for a great start to our year, the yummy luncheon yesterday and all of the work you have done over the summer months. Our school grounds look beautiful... and how about that new "We love the Dragons" fence!

Construction has officially started. I have attached a few pictures so that you can see what is going on. Yesterday they drilled for soil samples. I will keep you updated as the process continues. I want to thank you in advance for your flexibility and patience as we go through this construction project. I truly appreciate your support.

We are still working on some technology glitches. I know our marquee has been "stuck" on our Welcome Back to School message. Believe me; I want it off there too!

Thank you again for a great start. Our staff is working hard to serve you. Please email me or call if you have questions or concerns that you would like addressed.


Go Dragons!

Math Test Friday

I addition to the skills I listed on the last post about Friday's Math Test, I wanted to give you a heads up about something else that might help!  In their Wednesday folders you should see a "Skills Practice Place Value through 99,999." This was an activity we did yesterday to review the place value part of the test.  We continued to review ALL of the objectives today, and we will review again tomorrow.  This worksheet can be a good way to see which skills your child might need more help with before Friday!

Nouns Homework Tonight

Just a heads up :0)

Also ~ complete tonight's word sort.

Math Facts and Word Sorts

Math Facts ~ I sent home a math facts practice sheet today.  This does not need to be turned in to me.  Use it to help your child study for their Math Facts Quiz on Thursday.  If you receive a different practice sheet on Monday, that means your child is ready to move on.  If you receive the same one, that means we are going to practice those specific facts a little while longer.

Word Sorts ~ Everyone has their permanent envelopes today!!!  Please follow the directions as listed for each day of the week this week.  Even though this should be done every night, they only have to turn in their Writing Sort on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Math Homework: Expect math homework every Monday and Wednesday night.  As I said last week, this is going to start turning into your child's responsibility. 

Hoep you had a great weekend!
