Purpose of Back-to-School Night

◦ We are excited to be back in school during this unique and different

school year.

◦ Typically in my classroom, I will follow the pacing guide for 2nd-5th grade. Your child's curriculum will be based on their specific grade level abilities. We

will follow the SOL and ASOL standards.

◦ We will also build vocabulary, fluency, and stamina for Reading. Your child can work on this activity at home as well. They can help build stamina by

reading for 30 minutes a day.

Mrs. Holden and Mrs. Arevalo's Classroom

◦ Welcome Back!

◦ We follow the Standards of

Learning (SOLs) Objectives and

the Aligned Standards of Learning

(ASOLs).

◦ Your student learns content and is

taught on their learning level.

◦ We use a variety of

manipulatives, learning styles, and

strategies to meet your student's

needs.

ATTENDANCE◦ Attendance does matter!!

◦ We need every child logged in for

daily instruction and to complete

independent work assigned by the

teacher.

◦ We need students attending school to

reduce the level of learning gaps.

GRADES◦Learning is not optional
