We are full swing now! I just love this group of kids . . . they are all so generous, helpful, and genuinely enjoy learning (most of the time)!
We have a few assignments tonight:
Math: Study Link workbook page for 1.2--your child was instructed to pull this page out of his or her workbook two different times today, and then we discussed its difference from a mathbox assignment. It is due Thursday.
Spelling: Contracts and spelling tests will be due/on Friday. We will complete one more review activity tomorrrow before the kids head home.
Social Studies: We discussed latitude and longitude today--we also played a pretty fun game called "Treasure Hunt" that I've linked to the bottom of this blog. Students have handout p9 and p10 to complete for tomorrow.
Please know that my email is always "open" for any parent that wishes to talk with me. I will also check my voicemail messages each morning and after school, if you wish to leave me a message. My goal is to really get to know these kids for who they are--I've started this goal with the "Handle with Care" forms each parent filled out for me. I've enjoyed reading them, and I do plan to put those "ideas" and "concerns" into action.
Thank you for a great first week! It's hard to believe we've already been in school for 6 days!
