Thanks to all the parents who came to Literacy Night. I trust that my colleagues did an excellent job explaining some strategies that you can use at home to help your child read. Later this month we will have Math Night so keep a look out for info coming home soon in your child's folder.
Tuesday September 7 we have our Open House. 1st grade is from 6:30 - 7:00 so please be a little early so you you will find it easier to park. I will go over the curriculum and procedures that we use in 1st grade. I will answer some general questions but will not be able to speak to you specifically about your child... we will have conferences to do that or you can email, call or set up an appointment for a later date.
In Math, we have been working on geometry and simple addition. In Language Arts, we have worked on the short a sound (as in "cat") and making predictions as to what might happen in a story. In writing, we have been working in our journals, working on our handwriting and drawing pictures and adding text. We have gone over school rules and have now started our unit on Weather. When you come on Tuesday evening you'll be able to see some of the work we've been doing!
Don't forget, there's no school on Friday September 3 or Monday September 6 and there will be no assigned homework but I would love it if your child would read to you!
Have a great weekend and see you Tuesday evening!
