Update from Ms. Carrillo Re: Volunteers & Supplies (9/27/09)

I have gotten these parents cleared for the T.B. test: Melisa Lomet, Josie Kinnear, Melodie Silah, Karen Caneday, Denise Kane, and Jo Dee Freck. I am still getting our schedule together and will let you know when I need you. Thank you for volunteering!

We are doing great with the supplies you all sent in the beginning of the year. I'll let you know if anything gets low. Thank you SO much for your generosity.

Update from Ms. Carrillo Re: Homework for Week (9/27/09)

This week's homework update:

K - Letter Aa, word "see"

Math - patterning

Book Report

1 - Write 3 sentences about (1) favorite game to play at recess and (2) what do you like about fall?

Math - Chapter 3 Addition

Book Report

All are due on Friday in the red folder.

If your child brings in his/her homework on Friday, they will get 10 extra minutes to play at recess. We call this "Homework Club". If they do not bring in their homework, they have to stay in the classroom for those 10 minutes. If you cannot complete the homework by Friday, just write me a note and your child will get to play.

All the kids are encouraged to share a toy on Fridays. They can bring something that begins with the letter of the week, or anything they want, as long as 1) it's fun for the kids and 2) it's only one toy.

Update from Ms. Carrillo Re: Goings On (9/27/09)

Hi Room 7 Parents,

I just wanted to check in and see how everyone's doing. I wanted to get our blog started to fill you in on things happening in our classroom as of this week: Sept. 28.

We started dance class with Miss Megan. We will go to dance every Thursday and practice for the Dance Program in December. More information to follow. The kids have SO much fun!

We go to the Stevenson Library and check out a book on Tuesdays. Library books are due back to the classroom on Fridays. Our first library trip will be Tuesday, Sept. 29. We will buddy read with Mrs. Baade's class.

We have not yet visited our computer lab, but our scheduled day is Wednesdays. More information to follow.

October B-Days: Aliza (10/7)

See other posts from this date, but that's all I can think of for now. If you have any questions, comments, or corrections, please email me at StephanieCarrillo@burbankusd.org. By the way, this is a correction from the email address I put in the Back to School Night packet. Sorry for the mistake!

Thank you for being so involved in your child's academic experience. You are the best!!!

Ms. Carrillo

Welcome to Mrs. Carrillo's Class!

Hi,

I want to take this opportunity to step up and say that I will manage the blog for the classroom, and, barring anyone saying they would prefer to do it, I want to introduce myself. My son, Ryan, is currently 4 1/2, and is a big kindergartner in Ms. Carrillo's class. He adores going to school every day. My husband, Brett, and I also have a 7 year old, Kyle, in Ms. Lavitt's class.

We are new to Burbank (lived in Glendale for the past year), and are still relatively new to California, although I spent quite a bit of time in Ventura growing up. We moved from Arkansas last September, so if you've talked to either of us for longer than 3 minutes and can't place the accent, well, there ya go! We love what we've experienced in Burbank so far and are very pleased that we were able to find a home in the Stevenson district.

As for the blog, I will do my best to keep everyone updated as to the goings on in Room 7, including field trip and parties information/reminders, supply wishlists from Ms. Carrillo, upcoming festivities (including volunteers needed) such as Boo Bash, student birthdays, and homework assignments/reminders from Ms. Carrillo, etc. I'm sure this will be a work in progress. I welcome any feedback that you may have and ask your patience while I get up to speed on blogging.

Please feel free to ask my anything on here, or once the class roster list comes out, to call or email me.

Thanks!

Michelle
