Hi Parents,

I have started a google group for our site. This group, along with the blog, will help me contact you regarding class information. It will also allow you and, Mrs. Halili, our room parent, to easily contact you as well. I have sent requests to join our group to all the parents that I have email addresses for from Back to School Night. If I do not have your address, please request to join our group from the following link:

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Hope to see you at Walkaround tomorrow,
Mrs. Horner

Don't forget Walkaround is tomorrow from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Students need to bring their permission slip to the Walkaround to get their lap card. I hope to see you there!

Have a great weekend,
Mrs. Horner

Deer Hollow Field Trip

We had a great time today at Deer Hollow. We learned a lot about the Ohlone Indians while we were there. Thank you to the chaperones that came with us. We were happy you joined us and appreciated all of your help.

Don't forget tomorrow is Space Spirit Day! Students can wear something spacey or black to participate.

Thanks again!
Mrs. Horner

September Newsletter

September 2, 2011

Dear Room 16 Parents/ Guardians,

This school is year is off to a great start! Thank you to all of you who were able to attend Back to School Night. It was nice to meet more of you in person and share information about our class. So far, we have been working on many things in Room 16.

Language Arts: We are currently working on our first unit called “Journeys.” We have been working on the reading strategies: predictions, schema connections, summarizing, inference, and organization.

Math: We are working on our first unit on place value. Next, we will be working on ordering numbers, comparing numbers, and rounding numbers. We are also working on strategies to use with word problems.

Social Studies: We are studying California’s Geography. We will be starting to learn about the regions of California.

Science: We are working on our unit on Environments. We are making observations on our terrariums and looking forward to seeing sprouts on our plants.

P.E.: The students are working good sportsmanship. Please remember that P.E. is on Wednesdays and Thursdays so students have good shoes for moving around.

Thank you for the donations for “Time for Kids.” If you have not donated, it’s not too late. Please send $5 cash or a check for the publication payable to Sabrina Horner. The students will enjoy reading about current events as the year goes on.

Thank you for the donations that have been made to our classroom. We will get a lot of use out of the Kleenex, disinfecting wipes, and hand soap.

We still need volunteers for our two weeks of Traffic Duty. The weeks are December 5th-9th and April 23rd -27th. Please contact me if you are able to volunteer.

Some Up Coming Events:

• Labor Day – No School – September 5, 2011
• Band Meeting – 6:30 p.m. -8:00 p.m. - September 13, 2011
• Staff Learning Day – No School - September 23, 2011
