THIS WEEK IN MISS TREFONAS'S CLASSROOM....


Dear Parents and friends,
We have just completed our first week of school and the students and I are settling into our routine. I have enjoyed getting to know their individual personalities and talents and am anticipating a tremendous year together!

Just a couple of reminders…

RTI Parent Link Night for all Prairieview Parents is Thursday Sept. 4th at 7:oo. This is an important informational night. At this meeting, you will be informed about the new structure of our reading program.

Curriculum Night for Fifth grade is Thursday, September 11th at 7:00! The evening will begin with an introduction by Mrs. Schultz, followed by a meeting in each of your child's classrooms, during which we will review topics such as curriculum and expectations. You will also have the opportunity to sign up for parent conferences in your child's reading class. I look forward to seeing all of you!

We spent this week getting to know each other, and organizing for the coming year. Highlights included a scavenger hunt in the Social Studies textbook, writing an acrostic poem about first impressions of fifth grade, and a 3 minute timed test on following driections.
The office has requested that any items that come to school in an envelope be marked with the child's name, teacher's name, grade, and purpose (lunch tickets, field trip money, etc.). This is helpful in avoiding confusion regarding these items!

Please enjoy a safe and relaxing holiday weekend, and I look forward to seein you at Curriculum Night!

Sincerely,

Miss Trefonas
