Mrs. Paul's Blog

     Don't forget the BIG meeting tonight at Sinpson Middle School. It's from 6:00 to 7:45. It will be very informative on helping you "Navigate down the road," for your Special Ed. child. A flyer was already sent home about this. I hope to see you there.

   Also:

     Movie Night is this Friday night, at Blackwell, featuring "Toy Story." Bring your blankets (yes, it's indoors) for an evening of fun. It's benefitting the Blackwell Foundation which helps buy our Technology tools to instruct your children, and for them to use as well, in the classroom.

        Your kids are working hard. We appreciate your working with them at home as well. Keep checking their agendas for assignments and sign where we need you to.

     Thanks :-)

TWO MORE WEEKS TO GO

   We are rolling along. This week we are going to be welcoming Ms. Meg Veith. She is the Literacy Trainer for Blackwell. Ms. Veith will be "UNRAVELING"  some reading strategies for us to use to become better readers. I will share the information with you soon after.

     In the meantime, please continue to check your child's agenda everyday for homework and/or notes. It's important that you sign the agenda everyday, as well as any homework sheets that are to be completed.

     There are only two more weeks before Thanksgiving break. The kids are working hard at their reading.

     I welcome any comments or concerns you may have. Please feel free to email me at alyce.paul@cobbk12.org   or call the school at (678) 494-7600. I will always get back to you as soon as possible.

   

September 13, 2010

   Your children are working hard and we are so proud of them! This is the last week

of  school before the break. There is no school for one whole week. Please keep

your child reading and doing the small work packets that are going to be sent home.

These will continue to keep their learned skills strong. Thursday is Chick-Filet

morning. If you haven't already done so and want to, you can contact the school to

pre-pay for the entire school year, or you can just buy for that morning. The biscuits

are yummy, and the  money that the Blackwell Foundation takes in, goes to

Technology for all of us.

    Please keep in mind that for grades 3 and 5, there will be Standardized Testing

after we all return from the week-long break.

    As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please call me at school

 (678) 494-7600, or email me alyce.paul@cobbk12,org. I will do my best to answer you

 a.s.a.p.

    Thanks so much for your help and support. Our children need to always know that

WE work together for THEM!

WELCOME BACK EVERYONE

    It's amazing how fast our summer vacation has gone...and it's still summer! I hope you all had a fun one. It was so nice to see many of you during "Sneak A Peek."

I know we are going to have another GREAT year! I am looking forward to working with your children, and you. I am in need of some materials. If you could please check inside your child's agenda, you will see what he/she still needs for our class.

    Please remember that the agenda holds a lot of information. It's important to look in it everyday, sign what needs to be signed, and make sure that what needs to be done as far as homework, gets done, and put back into the bookbag for school the next day. OUR children need to know that WE are working together for them.  

   I am looking forward to seeing and meeting with you all at Open House on Tuesday, August 31. If you have any questions or concerns anytime, please feel free to call me at school (678) 494-7600 or email me at 

  Alyce.Paul@cobbk12.org

I will return your calls/emails a.s.a.p.

   Thanks so much!

Two More Weeks

      Thank you  Parents. You are doing a wonderful job helping your children with their homework assignments. This is so important as it is good practice for the upcoming CRCTs which will be given on on the third day after we get back from Spring break. Please continue to sign their papers and agendas as well. Together we can make a difference!

      Picture day is this Thursday. Keep a look out for the notices going home.

      Maymester will not begin until the last week in April after the CRCTs are over. if you have any more questions about this, please call me at school or email me at Alyce.Paul@Cobbk12.org

      

    

Is It Spring Yet?

   Hopefully this week-end will be the start of a new beginning....SPRING!

  As the weather gets nicer and the days get longer, we all want to be out more. Please remind your children how important it is to complete their work and get their proper papers signed and of course, returned to school, so they can get credit for their hard work.

   As CRCT time draws near, we are all working feverishly on our reading skills. Mrs. Hinton and I, and the children have all seen wonderful progress! We are thankful that the children are working so hard and that all of you are too. We all need to continue working together to show our children that we care.

   I have included a "sp sheet in with your child's homework. It's a great way to become familiar with all the phonetic sounds that we have been working on this year. The children enjoy working on them and we have already noticed an improvement in their decoding.

   Please remember that Trivia night is coming up next Thursday, Feb. 27th. I's going to be lots of fun. Watch for the flyer to come home with your children. It's a wonderful way for families and friends to get together to support Blackwell

    The school dance that was cancelled last week due to the snow, has been rescheduled for March 10th. I hope to see you all there.

     Thank you to all who came by Publix for Blackwell's Math Night. Anyway that we all can support Blackwell is always so appreciated.

       Now...think Spring!  :-)

Conference Week Coming Up- Jan. 25-Jan. 29

          Parents: please remember that next week is Conference Week and your children will be dismissed earlier from school ALL week. DIsmissal will be at 12:00. Please make arrangements for them so there won't be any surprises.

         I am looking forward to meeting with you. I have lots of good information to share with you about your children. If you are not able to make a scheduled conference, please be sure to call the school or put a note on the outside of your child's agenda.

       Movie night is tonight. It's still not too late to come!

       The horrible devestation in Haiti is being felt all around the world. Please watch for information that is coming home in your child's agenda from the school.

       Thanks for all your help and support. The children are reading their Unit books and you are all so wonderful making sure that they are returned completed and signed. Continue to check agendas and watch for the "timed" Fluency pages that they need to practice.

       TOGETHER...WE CAN ALL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!!   :-)

Welcome Back Happy 2010

       It was so wonderful seeing "our" kids again. They were enthusiastic and ready to get going again.

Please remember to check their agendas everyday for notes and assignments from myself and other

teachers as well.  They will need to continue practicing the fluency sheets that they bring home. It will

only take a few minutes of your time to go through two trials.

     Conferences will be coming up in the next few weeks...Jan. 25. Please watch for your note as to

the day/time. if you are unable to attend on the day or time, please let your child's homeroom teacher
