Week of August 30th

This week we will not have any math homework.

I did have a few students bring back some math homework this afternoon. Those were old homework pages, we were using the back of them as scratch paper to write some sentences during reading. I am very sorry for the miscommunication, those are homework sheets that we will not be doing until the spring. So for math homework in the future, I will be letting you know which homework page students will need to do and which day to expect it to come home. Every Monday I'll update the blog or send home a note. This note will tell you which days to expect math homework and will also tell you the number that will be on the homework. The number is in the top right hand corner and we will probably start with 1.9 sometime next week.

We will be going to the library this Friday, but I'm not sure yet as to whether students will be checking out books yet. You may want to check backpacks on Friday to see if your child has brought home a library book.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you so much :)

Some Clarification

I sent home some starfall reading and writing journals with students yesterday. We no longer use these workbooks at school, but since I had a lot of them leftover, I thought I would send them home for your use. They are for you to keep at home and use as you like. They are great practice for students with sight words and handwriting skills.

You do not need to send these books back to school.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.
