Wow! We are off to a great start! The students have been working so hard and got into the groove of being back in school full time without a hitch. They really are an excellent group of kiddos. In just the first week of school we went through nearly 3 complete stacks of Eagle Tickets!
We spent most of this week getting to know each other and ended the week learning about 9/11. We briefly discussed the events that took place and learned about the 9/11 memorial and museum. We talked about ways the victims from that day are honored and remembered each year. We also read a book titled "Fireboat" by Maira Kalman in which we learned about some of the lesser known heroes.
Your child should have come home on Friday with their Friday Folder in their backpack. This green folder will come home every Friday with corrected work as well as important notices from the school. Please remove and review all papers and return this folder to school every Monday.
Finally, this week your child will come home with their first reading log of the year. They will need to record their nightly reading on this form and return it to school along with their blue homework folder on Friday. Your child should read a good fit book for at least 20 minutes each night. We will gradually ease our way into our full homework routine so for the next two weeks this will be your child's only homework. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Have a great week!
