a. Curriculum Night Announcement- A lavender-colored paper should be arriving in Orange Folders with information about Curriculum Night this Thursday. I look forward to seeing you all there! Plan to learn more in-depth about our third grade year and be ready to indicate potential volunteer times and select a Fall Conference time!
b. Online Math and Reading Programs: A double-sided sheet is waiting in Orange Folders with information about Dreambox (math) and Raz-Kids (reading); two great online academic programs we will be using avidly this year! Most of you are familiar with these programs, but I encourage you to check them out with your child as there are usually some cool updates made yearly! We will be using these to programs during stations in school and I encourage you to use them at home, as well! I encourage you to use these two programs as a homework supplement and will go over suggestions at Curriculum Night.
2. PBL Update: Our PBL Community Teams have been working on creating Storyboards to plan their projects. We will start our photography and voice-overs this week! We look forward to sharing these completed projects with you!
3. Event Reminders:
a. Volunteer Training : Tuesday, September 25th at 3:45 PM.
Remember this training is mandatory before you begin volunteering at school this year!
b. Early Release : Wednesday, September 26th at 1:35 PM
Will the state standards or objectives be identified within homework regularly so we can focus in on them or just be aware of them?

I'll talk more about the new standards tomorrow at Curriculum Night so you will have resources to access and learn about them! Our new math program will give you a progress report, as well, that shows your child's level of mastery within each standard. Thanks for the reminder!

Okay, thanks. I can't make it but Lori will be there.
Next question, is the wishlist still valid? Do you still need all of those items?
