What a great first week back at school! We had plenty of get to know you activities and we've started building an awesome community in our classroom.
Some important papers went home this week that I'm hoping all parents and guardians get a chance to look at. On Tuesday the students brought home our classroom procedures agreement for families to read together and sign. On Thursday they brought home our school wide parent handbook to be read and signed. Please return the pages with your signatures! Our class gets rewarded if we get all of those turned in by next Friday.
This week we introduced Daily 5. It's a reading program that helps us build stamina and learn to be better readers! Ask your student about it. It allows them to have a lot of choice about what they want to read. So far the students really seem to be enjoying it! We will be doing Daily 5 along with our Treasures reading curriculum.
We will start our Envision math curriculum next week. We'll be diving right into numeration where we focus on place value. Next week's math homework is directly related to this.
Next week we will be starting our Oregon Social Studies Curriculum as well! It's new this year and should be really engaging! I'm excited to teach it!
Please know that our class is split on Thursdays and Fridays for PE and Music. Half of our class joins Mr. Bova's to head to PE on Thursday and Music on Friday. The other half will join Mr. Grassman's class for Music on Thursday and PE on Friday. Your student should know by now which class they join. Please remind them to wear PE attire on their day!
Our first library will be next Tuesday!
I think that is plenty of information for now! I'm looking forward to Open House on Thursday, September 26th at 6:30. Be prepared to see lots of student artwork from this week when you come!
