Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to a new school year! I hope you had a fun and relaxing summer! This week we will be doing many fun activities. We will be reading a few short stories and completing activities that go along with the stories. The stories we are going to be reading include: Ten Black Dots, I Went Walking, How I Spent My Summer Vacation, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, No Roses for Harry, and Brown Bear, Brown Bear. We will be making our own class books for Ten Black Dots and I Went Walking. We will also be writing about our summer vacation and our first days of school.
This week you will be receiving an Everyday Math family letter. Look for it in your child's red take-home folder. You will receive a family letter at the beginning of each unit. This family letter provides you with answers to all of the homework problems. It also explains the topics we will be covering throughout the unit. Please keep this in a safe place so you are able to refer to it throughout the unit.
In our first few days of school, we will also be going over all of the rules and routines. A behavior agreement will be coming home this week too, and it needs to be signed. It will be coming home in your child's red take-home folder. Please help your child become responsible for bringing their red take home folder to and from school each day.
Do you have an old sock laying around the house that doesn't have a partner? We would love to use it in our classroom! If you could send an old sock (or more than one sock) to school with your child, it would be greatly appreciated. They make wonderful erasers for our white boards.
