This is our first full week and we will be keeping busy. This week we will continue focusing on getting to know one another and our "working together" skills. We will also begin working on our daily math as well as begin to introduce the concept of Daily 5 center work. You will find the spelling words listed to the left side of this blog and any important dates, as well. Our spelling test will be on Friday. Please practice with your child. We work with our words in class everyday. Check out the Common Core button on the right. This will give you an idea of what your child will be learning this year. Please continue sending in the forms that were sent home and any field trip t-shirt money.
There are a few policies I forgot to cover in my newsletter. One of them is snacks. If possible, please send in a healthy snack. Crackers, fruits, etc. Please do not send Hot Cheetos, Takis or sugary snacks. These snacks are very messy and require sending students to the bathroom to clean up after recess which takes away from teaching time.
If your child brings a toy to school or any other item that distracts from learning, I will keep it in my classroom until the last day of school or you may come in and pick it up at any time.
Again, if you have any questions or if you would like to email me your concerns, please feel free to do so.
Have a great week!
