What an amazing first week!

What a week we've had! We've gotten to know each other, made new friends, and organized ourselves for the school year.

A little update on our routines:

• We will always write our homework down in our Assignment Notebook. The assignments are also updated daily on our website here, under the "Assignments" tab.

• We are beginning to dive into our textbooks, so the homework will begin to pick up this week.

• If you have one, bring your device with you to class each and every day. Parents: Check your emails for the Smoky Row BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy. (If you haven't received any emails from me, let me know so that I can add you to the Parent Email group!)

• The dates for upcoming grade level & school-wide events are linked under the "Schedule & Calendar" tab on our website. Both the Carmel Clay and the Smoky Row calendars are available!

• Our first school-wide assessment of the year will take place over the next two weeks. The test is a Math & Reading NWEA assessment, so that we can have an idea of where your child currently is within these two subjects.

• Our first classroom assessment will be NEXT FRIDAY, August 19th - it will be a test on Lesson 1 in Social Studies. A study guide will come home with your child so that they can use it as a guide as they begin to study for this.

As always, don't forget to text @6cb76 to the number 81010 to receive our classroom text updates on your phone!
