Well, we survived our first week and 2 days into the next.  We are all settling in nicely. Here are few things happening this week: *  For homework this week, I would like each student to practice printing his/her name each night, as well as having someone read to them.  You can log what you read on the log sheet provided.  Students can also practice reading the book "A Fireman", reinforcing the sight word 'a'.  Sight Word duotangs have been sent home as well.  These can stay home so students can practice them nightly.  The activities at the end of the book are just suggestions for you to do with your child at home so they can learn their sight words.  They do not have to be sent in. *  In Literacy this week, we are working on Word Awareness.  We will look at some poems and count how many words are in each line.  For practice, we have been clapping out the words and counting them. *  In Math, we are working on Unit 1: Patterns. *  We had our first lockdown practice today and everyone did very well, especially the first time.  On Thursday we will have our first fire drill.   *  Several notices have been sent home this week.  Please make sure to fill them in and send them back to school with your child.
