Good Afternoon Parents I wanted to say thank you to all who sent treats for the class for Halloween. It was very thoughtful of you and the children had a great time passing them out and sharing. Many thanks. I am looking forward to seeing you at Parent Teacher. I will send home your appointment time if you requested one with your child tomorrow in the report card. We will be having our weekly quiz on Thursday this week as there is not any school on Friday. When you come to Parent Teacher, check by the classroom for some information on Writing Standards. Since this is first report, we refer to the Writing Standards for the end of entry or Kindergarten while keeping in mind the end of year standards for grade one when evaluating the writing progress of each child. It is somewhat subjective in nature, but there are specific criteria to look for as well. I thought that you might be interested in learning a bit more about this and what the expectations are for first grade in the area of writing. I will try to adhere to the appointment time that you are given, so hopefully, you won't have to wait too long. Mrs. Donovan
