Hello families! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Tomorrow is picture day! Students will be taking their pictures tomorrow morning before they go play outside. If you haven't done so, please return the picture money envelope as soon as possible to purchase your pictures. Depending on the company's schedule, packets should be arriving before the month of October.
You most likely noticed already a change in the homework packets. The packets will generally stay as they are currently for the school year, plus or minus various concepts and pages. I definietly don't want to burden the students with homework each night, but each packet should be completed within the week and returned on Fridays. Students who don't have their packets completed will need to complete it in class during their recess. Above all else, homework is a practice of the concepts they are receiving in class- so again, there is nothing new and should not be anything too strenous. If you are noticing your student is taking longer than 20 - 30 mintues to complete homework each night, please contact me and we can arrange a change. As with in class, students should feel success in their learning, and homework can support that success.
We are continuing our work through place value through 20 in math. Today, the students played a game with a deck of cards and classmates to create a math problem. The digits used were single and double, using 3 places (for example, 1 + 10 + 3). So far, it's proven to be fun and educational for the class. In reading and spelling, the students are working on long vowels. We are also continuing our writing projects about what we did for our summer vacations. Students are working through their drafting process carefully, and are finalizing their writing. I'm seeing some excellent work so far!
Enjoy your week!
