MS. STARR'S UPDATES
February 21, 2023
Hello Parents,I wanted to give you an update and a thank you! Thank you for the Valentine’s cards, flowers, candles, gift cards and other thoughtful gifts you gave Suzanne and myself. We had a wonderful low-key day filled with love.
Asia Presentations have begun! Let me know if you need another day to present. It will all work out beautifully, as it always does! The children are very excited this time! They love showing off their presentations and then singing and dancing for all of you! I look forward to seeing you if you can attend. Luncheon will be Friday, March 3rd. You can come and see all the presentations displayed beginning at 10:00 a.m. We will perform at 11:15 and then have lunch together. The luncheon ends around noon. Tayne Griffin will be sending you a Sign-Up Genius to contribute food, napkins, cups, etc. Thank you in advance!
We are all sorry we had to cancel our Hiking Field Trip! A special thank you to Herman Lee for all his diligent hard work in setting it up! Thank you to the whole team! Look for more information in March for upcoming field trips!
Spring Break is around the corner! Parents often ask me what to work on with their if they have time. Memorizing Math facts is always my reply. Get flashcards and make it a fun game! Pet Bingo is an app I suggest as well. The kids love the app, and they learn while having fun!
Thank you, again for being so supportive!
Sincerely,
Ms. Starr

Dear Parents,
I hope you are all doing well! Your children are thriving and growing in the classroom! I wanted to give you a quick update on some things going on.
We will be getting a new assistant next week. Her name is Suzanne! We will welcome her with open arms!
We will begin Asia study soon. We kicked off our study with Gyotaku. An ancient Japanese way of measuring fish after the catch to prove their size. I hope you received it and love it! I will be giving Asia presentation assignments at the beginning of February. First graders will receive an animal from Asia, second graders a landmark and third graders a country in Asia.
Please work with your child at home to memorize all addition and/or multiplication facts. Pet Bingo is an app. I often suggest as kids find it fun. They can do this app 15 minutes a day and you will be surprised how quickly they will learn.
Thank you to all parents who have volunteered to pick up the pizza and bring in sides. We appreciate you!
We will be planning another field trip soon. Look forward to hearing from Herman Lee or JJ Komadina for more information. Thank you, again, to both for helping with this!
Also, thank you for your contributions and help with getting pledges for the Fun Run!
Thank you, again and again for all your support this year! I really appreciate you all!
Sincerely,
Ms. Starr

Dear Parents,
The weeks have flown by and your children are doing great! We really have a fantastic class this year! All of the children are really trying their best to grow, learn and improve each day! It is a joy to see! Thank you, again, for your support with nightly reading, filling out the reading log and reminding your child to bring his/her folder each day.
We will have half-days on Friday the 16th and Friday the 23rd. On these days we will be having Goal Setting Conferences. This conference will be 20 minutes long and your child will be an active participant in the conference. Your child has chosen three goals to achieve in the school-year ahead, I will choose three goals for your child, and I would like you to come to the conference with your three goals in mind as well. We will discuss and come up with an action plan and agreement to all work together to achieve these goals.
You will be receiving a Sign Up Genius link to sign up for your preferred time slot. If those times do not work, let me know and we can schedule a time that is best for you.
Thanks again and I look forward to seeing you at the conference!
Sincerely,
Ms. Starr
