Happy First Day!

FOR STUDENTS:

Hey class!

I must say I had an awesome day getting to work with all of you and am looking forward to getting to know you all better in the weeks/months to come.  Although things seem intense and may be a bit overwhelming, I promise that once you all get the hang of our class expectations and routines, you'll feel confident to dominate any challenge thrown at you.

Today we spent a lot of time going over routines, expectations and speaking to what all you will be learning this year.  I am excited that the rest of the week we will really get to delve into our curriculum.

At home tonight you should:

1.  Find a book to have at school for your "reading reflections" time after lunch.
2.  Study your new set of vocabulary words. You have a test on Friday.
3.  Give your manila packet of important papers to your parent(s) or guardian(s).
4.  Begin your word work.

I hope you all have a nice evening and get rested up for another exciting day of 5th grade :).

Ms. Evans


FOR PARENTS:

Hello!  I am excited that I have the privilege to work with you and your child.  I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you and hope to see you again at "back to school night" on Sept. 10th (for more information, visit http://www3.beaverton.k12.or.us/bethany/).  However, in the meantime, here are some important notes about our class:

1.  There are weekly vocabulary tests and your student has the materials they need in their binder.
2.  Students do not have a planner this year, but a weekly pink sheet they fill out that has all of their assignments listed on it.  Please ask to see it if they claim the following: "I don't have any homework."
3.  Students will be bringing home important papers from Bethany Elementary in a manila folder.  Please take a look at all of the information it provides and return the required papers.
4.  There is reading homework every night (reading response), however, there is no reading homework the first day of school.

I feel strongly that clear communication between home and school will only aid in your student's success.  Please feel free to email me at any time with any comments/questions/concerns you may have.  chelsey_evans@beaverton.k12.or.us

Thank you for being such a strong support in your child's life!

Hope to see you next week!

Respectfully,
Chelsey
