A Sample Newsletter

Right now I print out hard copies of my monthly newsletter to parents, but in the future I'd love for the families of my students to be able to access it online.
Here is what it may look like:

October 7th, 2009
Dear Room 9 Students and Families,
Things are finally settling down as we are already a month into this school year! Here is an update of the latest in our classroom and 5th grade.

Spelling
Spelling words are sent home each week and tested on Fridays. Your student has an individualized list to practice at home each night. Most students take home a list of 45 words, on which they have highlighted 15 words to learn that week.

Reading and Math
Reading and math groups are well underway. For questions regarding these subjects, please feel free to contact your student’s teacher directly. Please note that as we wrap up calculations and estimations units at the beginning of November, math groups will be changing and your student may have a new teacher for the next math unit.

Agendas and Progress Reports
Your student now has an agenda used for recording daily homework. It should be in your student’s binder and go back and forth to school and home each day. Please check this agenda for homework assignments and upcoming tests.
Progress Reports for homeroom subjects (social studies/science, spelling, grammar) will generally be sent home each Monday. Look for the first one Oct.12th. If your student has reading or math with me, these subjects will be included as well.
