Week of April 11th

This week we will have homework 8.1 on Monday, 8.1 (cont) on Tuesday, and 8.2 on Wednesday. Also a note to let you know that we won't check out this week until Wednesday morning. We will be painting the trees and bushes that we made last week on Tuesday (tomorrow). Please send your child to school in clothes that can get paint on them, or with a paint shirt that they can wear over their clothing. Reminder that the spring pictures and fundraiser were due today. If you did not already send them back, please do so tomorrow. Thank you, and as always, let me know if you have any questions.

Week of April 4th

This week we will have homework 7.4 on Monday and 8.1 on Tuesday. I also wanted to remind everyone that the newsletter sent home last week has the date and time for our upcoming music program. It is on April 28th at 2:45. (The time is listed as both 2:45 and 2:50 in the newsletter.) I am looking for some volunteers to help us build trees and bushes for our woodlands project. If you are available this week on Thursday the 7th or next week on Tuesday the 12th from 2:15 to 3:30 or so please let me know. The more help we have the better. :)

Week of March 28th

This week we will have homework 6.12 on Monday, 7.1 on Wednesday, 7.3 on Friday and another set of fact triangles on Friday. Remember that fact triangles are to be cut out and used to practice at home, they do not need to be returned to school.

We will be having homework more frequently now as we approach the end of the year and are getting prepared for second grade.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Week of March 14th

This week we will have homework 6.9 on Tuesday and 6.10 on Thursday.

A quick reminder that we are having our stuffed animal celebration on Thursday. Students may bring 1 small or reasonable sized stuffed animal to school that day. This is optional and if your child does not want to bring a stuffed animal they do not have to.

I also want to remind you that this Wednesday, March 16th is an early dismissal day and that we have spring break next week, so we will have no school March 21-25.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Week of March 8th

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend with your children, I know I had fun spending an extra couple of days with my little guy.

This week we will have homework 6.5 Tuesday (tonight), 6.6 on Wednesday and 6.7 on Thursday. One of these assignments is another set of fact triangles. Please cut these out and keep them at home for your child to practice with. No need to send any work back to school.

We will be checking out library books on Wednesday morning, since we did not have our regular time yesterday.

As always, please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Week of February 28th

This week we will have homework 6.3 on Tuesday and 6.4 on Wednesday. The sheet on Wednesday will be the first of many like it. These are fact family triangles and are a type of flashcard. The idea is that you will cut them out and then use them to practice addition and subtraction facts. You do not need to return them or any work to school, but I do ask that you spend 5-10 minutes a night practicing with the triangles. You will see at least 2 more sheets of these triangles as the year goes on to add to your collection for practicing.

This week is a review week for reading. During a review week we do not have new vocabulary words, so there will be no challenge words for spelling this week. We will have them again starting next week.

Reminder that we do not have school on Friday, March 4th or Monday, March 7th.

Thank you, and as always, please let me know if you have any questions.

Week of February 21st

Hello, hope everyone had a good weekend.

I will be sending home report cards with students on Tuesday. Please take a moment to look at them before your child's conference on Thursday, February 24th, or Tuesday, March 1st. If you have any questions about the report card I will be able to answer them at your child's conference.

This week we will have homework 6.1 on Tuesday and 6.2 on Wednesday.

Also, due to the early dismissal today, we will be checking out books on Wednesday instead of Monday. If your child has not already returned their books, they should do so by Wednesday to get to check out new ones.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
