A list of the acronyms used by the school so we all can become familiar with them – we can probably obtain this from the PTA.
Read to the class an [[Accelerated Reader]] book ([http://www.arbookfind.com/ find them online]), that you've brought, or that Ms. Danhi provides. At a computer in the classroom or library, help each student take a five-multiple-choice-question test, to confirm the book has been read to them.

== At home ==

In addition to class assigned homework, consider the following at home activities.

From Audrey, 2012-10-09:
Be a "second teacher" and '''help students during class'''.


<blockquote>
=== Mystery Reader ===
We could rotate this with the cooking and do one every other week. Parents would volunteer to do a science experiment or instruction (age appropriate of course) for the class. I learned that we are able to use the materials from the [[Sagamore Science Lab|science lab]] for class projects and things like this. We just need to let [[Ms. Danhi]] or [[Ms. Lambert]] know and we can get the supplies. I am going to volunteer to help organize the lab. It has a ton of stuff there to have some fun with!
</blockquote>


=== Math ===
Surprise the class and '''read the kids a story'''! If you don't want to bring your own book(s), Ms. Danhi can provide.


From Audrey, 2012-10-09:
=== Homework Packets ===


<blockquote>
Each Monday, a packet with the week's homework is sent home, to be returned finished by the student on Friday. Assist Ms. Danhi by '''making copies'''.
Parent volunteers to come in and help kids in math. Would have to talk with Ms. Danhi about how we could do this best. [[Ms. Miller]] (Discovery teacher) may have some ideas to help with this too. I spoke with her earlier on and she was really creative with education. I would like to see the class doing more with math and science for sure!
</blockquote>


=== Computer ===
==Discussion List==


From Audrey, 2012-10-09:
Use the '''{{discussion list|name=class email discussion list|id=danhi.2012|inactive=true}}''' to communicate with class parents and Ms. Danhi. ''(Inactivated 2013-08-10)''

<blockquote>
A few parents have expressed interest in seeing how we could use the [[Sagamore Computer Lab|computer lab]] more. Maybe we can come up with some time to teach the kids how to use it like to type a letter to someone or write a poem or short story? I don't know anything about Macs, but I am sure some of the other parents do and they may have some ideas too. It would be small groups and for short times. Parents could volunteer twice a month or something? It could be set up as a reward for children who receive good-super all week or something. The kids really enjoy going in there and having their own computer.
