Our first full week of school has flown by! Week two will start will a few new routines:
*Starting Monday, the class will walk up to the room by themselves in the morning.
*Extended Day sessions will also start at 8:00 am. Children who were invited to participate in the program will be picked up from the school lunchroom.
(As of Tuesday, kids were sent up from the lunchroom. Children are now expected to walk upstairs by themselves.)
*We will have our first Spelling test. It will include the twenty words in the homophones list.
*The first reading log will be due for collection on Monday.
In addition to this, our first social studies unit will be launched with our Landform Map project. Your child was asked to give you a letter explaining the materials needed in class for this project. We read the directions for making salt dough and I demonstrated the steps. Each child was given a piece of the dough made in class so that they would know what consistency the dough should be. Everyone was captivated so this should be a fun weekend project!
Have a great weekend!
