Good Morning,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. This morning we read the comments that you wrote in your child's Weekly News Journal. Thank you for the thoughtful responses. The students enjoy hearing them read aloud to the class. We also continued reading the story The Giraffe, the Pelly, and Me by Roald Dahl. This is quite an amusing story of a ladder-less window cleaning company. Your child may talk to you about why it would be a wise investment to buy a monkey!
We also had reading groups, writing, and math today. Our specials were PE and Library.
Notes:
*Continue to send in supplies for the instrument project (See Friday's Blog for details).
*Please make sure your child knows if he/she is staying at the mountain or riding the bus back after skiing on Wednesday. It saves a lot of confusion and worries if you can have that discussion ahead of time.
*On Wednesday, your child should have all of their stuff for the Winter Program. They can line their stuff in the hallway outside our door. Please make sure to label each piece of clothing, hats, gloves, etc. When we leave, our class will line up all of their stuff in the library. When they return to school, that is where they can find it.
*Homework on Ski Days: I will send home books of choice on ski days. This way you can decide of your child is capable of doing any homework. I understand if they are exhausted. The homework is optional. If you choose to not have your child do it, please just note it in the book log.
*There is 1st grade math homework this week. Play it a few time between now and 1/17/13. The survey will be sent home on 1/17/13 and must be returned on 1/18/13.
Have a great week.
Peace,
Tom
