I have uploaded the calendar for next week to the website. We are starting to "get in the groove" of first grade. The kids are doing a great job with learning to work independently like first graders.
I started the reading assessment this afternoon. I will be out of the classroom on Monday and will be pulling students one-on-one to check letter ID/sounds, sight words, concepts about print, writing vocabulary, hearing & recording sounds, and text reading level. I plan to start our small group guided reading instruction the week of September 24.
We haven't had any math homework the last few days as we have been reviewing and testing over Chapter 1. We began the introductory part of Chapter 2 yesterday. Your child will start bringing home math homework again next Tuesday. Thank you in advance for watching for this and helping your child complete their homework.
Today your child brought home a bright pink order form for trash bags. The Tongie FCCLA is selling them at this time. If you or someone you know would like to order, please see this form.
Your child also brought home a purple note about our upcoming music program. This is from Mrs. Haney our music teacher. Please see this note to find out about time of performance, what to wear, and other information.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
