We all had a great first week back! Students were eager to be with their friends and I think we all agree that being back on a schedule felt good.
This week, students jumped right back into the curriculum. First graders are still practicing with identifying and symbolizing articles, adjectives, and nouns. Second graders are working on adverbs while 3rd graders continued their practice with conjunctions. In math, all students practiced both large addition and multiplication. Next week, we will start our practice on subtraction. We also started learning about homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same, spelled different, and have different meanings. An example is sea and see OR I and eye.
Students were also introduced to persuasive writing. We will be working with the students closely on this writing genre during the quarter. All students continued practice on telling time, counting coins, and cursive. We encourage each child to read a book at home and take an AR test at school. Parents should help their child record the name of the book in their reading log. This is located in their red folder. If your child has misplaced that please let a teacher know.
In January we have several important dates.
January 13th, Progress reports will be sent home at 5:00 pm
January 20th, Monday, School will be closed for Martin Luther King Jr Holiday.
January 23th, Thursday will be Parent's Night.
