Get the Scoop Night and weekly news

A BIG thank you to everyone who came to "Get the Scoop" night!  We had a great turnout and I thoroughly enjoyed talking with each and every one of you and learning more about your sweet children. Your love and support means so much to me. Thank you for sharing them with me this school year!  

A few notes:
*If you would like a Beulah Ralph t-shirt for your child or family, they are $10 each.  While we don't have official order forms at this time, you can stop by the office at any time and pick one up while they are in stock.  We would love for every child to have a t-shirt to wear on Spirit Monday's!

*Beginning on Thursday (September 1st) make sure you are logging your child's reading.  A yellow September reading log was sent home in last week's Friday Folder.  Please let me know if you mis-placed yours and need a new copy.  Every child at Beulah Ralph (grades K-5) will be encouraged to read/be read to by an adult Monday-Thursday night and record at least one book per night on the reading log.  In Kindergarten the expectation is 15 minutes per night.  Please keep the reading log in your child's daily take home folder or in a safe place at home.  I will collect them at the end of each month and send home a new reading log for the following month. 

*Don't forget to send in a family photo for your child to keep on the shelf above their cubby as soon as possible.  Please make sure the photo and frame are 4x6 in size and no larger, as they will not fit in the space.

Every child has their own poetry folder.  At this point we are learning a poem or two a week that ties in with their learning.  At the end of the week, when they are "experts" at reading the poem, it is added to their poetry folder for them to keep and re-read.  Below the children are partner reading their poems to one another.  Ask your child about the following poems they have learned: Hickety Pickety Bumble Bee, Shape Song, The Color Song.

Lydia was the first friend in our class to lose a tooth during the school day!  It just fell right out during snack time!!  The kids were so excited for her!

Tuesday was our first time checking out a book from the library.  Mrs. Fitch taught us all about how to select a book and take care of them while in our possession.  Our library check-out day will always be on Tuesday's.  Please make sure your child keeps their library book in their backpack when they are not reading it at home.  This will prevent it from getting lost.  Every Tuesday they will return the book and pick out a new one!  They were so excited!
