August 19th- 23rd

We made it through our first few days of school! The students have transitioned very well and are already working hard.  Here are the items we have worked on so far:
Cursive- We have already finished learning to write cursive letter "i" and "t".
Times tables- Working on 0, 1, & 2.  Flashcards will be coming home this week.  Please spend 10 - 15 minutes a night on the times tables. Next week, I will start passing off each childs' times tables.
Reading- Reading charts are being sent home today in folders.  Please have your child read 25 minutes every school night.  Charts need to be handed in on Sep. 2.
Spelling- I've decided to hold off another week before sending spelling home.  I don't want to overwhelm the students!
Homework will begin next week.  Watch for a homework packet next Monday.

A heartfelt thank you for the donations made to our class.  It makes a big difference!

Here is our schedule of special classes throughout the year:

Tuesdays- 10:30 - Music
Wednesdays- 10:00 - Music
Thursdays - 12:30 - Library
Fridays- 10:00 - P.E. & 1:15- Art

Parents volunteers will begin the first of October.  Most information will be sent as the time draws closer.
