Week of September 6-9, 2011
Greetings to the new students in my class for 2011-12. I'm looking forward to meeting and getting to know all of you during this first week. We will jump right in to the school year with some ice breaker activities and some Math and Language reviews. As the first week goes by we will be preparing for the first Math unit in Number Sense and the first Language activities with News Journals and a novel study. Also upcoming are our preparations for our Stratford visit to see Twelfth Night on October 18, including actor workshops right in our classroom. It should be fun! See you soon!
This blog will function as a weekly homework listing and be archived as the week ends. Be sure to check out my class web page at http://areynolds.org/ all year long. Plenty of useful stuff is posted, including downloads of class handouts which you should use to replace lost work.

We've had a terrific first week of school in room 365. A fair number of routines have been introduced and we've had an assembly with Mr. Hochberg and a Library introduction with Ms. Edgar, our new librarian. Ms. Edgar is pleased to offer Library access for study, research or homework practice every day starting at 8:00 AM and for half an hour each day after school until 3:45 PM. She has also provided a number of useful web links for research that complement the offerings on my web page. Check out your child's agenda for more information. Please take advantage of this welcoming environment!
1. Typically I give little or no homework on weekends aside from project research/reading and twenty minutes of daily book report reading. Our first book report is due on October 6. Students should select a book they haven't already read that is at least 90 pages long and have it in class for Monday.
2.Curriculum Night on September 14, 2011. My session runs from 7 to 7:30 PM. The evening lasts from 6:30- 8 PM.
