We had another great week in M29. Last Week we began reading our first novel of the year titled The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes. It is a great beginning of the year book that helps us discuss how to treat others. While we read through the book we are keeping a notebook of what is happening in the story. We will also be tracking the characters as well as new vocabulary as we go. In addition to our novel study we kicked of our first social studies unit on American symbols.
Last week we also began implementing an online program called Class Dojo and the kiddos are loving it! Class Dojo is a wonderful resource that we will be using throughout the year to help monitor our behavior, create digital student portfolios, as well as for easy parent/teacher communication. So far we have only used it to monitor our behavior and the students have been working so hard each day to earn as many positive points as they can. I am so proud of their commitment to uphold our class contract each and every single day. They will be able to use the points they earn to buy prizes in the Dojo store each Friday. I sent home directions for how you can connect to Class Dojo in your child's Friday folder. This will be my primary means of communication so please make sure to get connected at your earliest convenience.
Finally, as a reminder your child will only have reading homework once again this week. We will begin adding math to the mix next week.
Have a great week!
