Week of September 16th - 20th

Dear Parents,
Thank you for being so patient with me and the blog.  Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me.  They are each such amazing people with such great ideas.  Although we are still learning some of our basic rules of listening, putting names on paper and finishing each job, the children are doing a nice job!!
We have had many new things to learn already.  And it seems that we add something new to our schedule each and everyday:}
      *The children seem to have the lunch routine down now even though it is still a little tricky:}
      *We have been working on our handwriting but still need to practice correct formation and size.  
      *We are working on writing sentences that begin with a Capital letter and are stopped with a                               period and make sense.
       *The children did great on their first popcorn word test as well as first spelling test.
       *Our journals will be a great way to practice our writing and for the students to express their     thoughts and ideas. ( At home, as often as possible allow your child to copy words, write a note, make a list etc. All of this will help in our writing skills.)
        * Our math lessons have been about grouping by 5's, 10's. We are learning to make partners for numbers which is really adding and subtracting.  (Any opportunity that you can give you child to count, write and identify numbers 1-120 by 1's, 5's, 10's  will also help with their math skills.

Please make sure that you are reading with, to and by your child each and everyday for at least 20 min. This more than anything will help with your child's reading skills.  Thanks so much for all you do to help us have success each and every day!  Your children are amazing as are you !  Thank You!!!
