Dear Families,
We had another great week! The days are already flying by.
Read-a-Thon: Today, we had the kickoff for Glendale’s main fundraiser this year: The Glendale Read-a-thon! This is our primary source of funding for P.T.C. school support. 100% of what the students earn will go right back to the school! It’s very simple. The students get pledges from family and friends, and then come to school ready to read on Tuesday, October 9th. On this day they will spend 120 minutes reading in various classrooms based on their chosen interests. This is exactly like what they have done during read-a-thon day in years’ past. Look for your child to bring home their pledge envelope today with important information about this new and exciting event. Envelopes with pledges are due back to school Thursday, October 4th. Check out this link for more information about the big event! http://www.glendaleptc.com/get-involved/read-a-thon/
Glendale’s Family Fun Night: It is time for Family Fun Night at Glendale, our annual back to school event! Join other Glendale families, students, and staff TONIGHT from 6:15-8:00 p.m. to play outside (or in the gym if it rains), and have dinner in the multi-purpose room. We will have pizza, beverages, and snacks available for purchase.
Reader's Workshop: In Reader' s Workshop we have been working our Independent reading time. We are reading about 15minutes a day so far. We are trying to remember to read quietly, stay in one spot, read the whole time, and to get started right away.
Math: Please make sure your child is completing the assigned homework each night.
Conferences: Thank you to the parents who signed up at Back to School Night for a conference time. Parent/Teacher conferences are scheduled for Oct. 11th, 12th, and 16th. If you still need to schedule a time, please call or e-mail me to set up a conference by Friday, September 28th.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Schumacher
