September 4

Dear Parents:

I enjoyed meeting all of you at curriculm night. We are off to a great start and I am enjoying your children.

The class in learning the routines and everyone is happy.

I plan on having centers on Thursdays from 10:15 to 11:00. We will begin on Sept 20 and you will be receiving a form to sign up in the next week. Center helpers will assist with editing and math or special project stations.

Our first book report; to create a paper bag puppet of a character in a book, will be due on Sept 27. I will send home a bag and written directions.

Our book of the month for August was "Roller Coaster". The kids had a great time learning about roller coasters, designing one of their own and writing about it. Their creations are posted in the hall.

We are also learning about Homphones and will be creating a class powerpoint book of Homophones.

Please work with your kids on MATH FACTs and continue to read with them.

This week your kids have had a chanch to explore a website at ikeepbookmarks.com
There are some great math activities on this site. To use.. go to ikeepbookmarks.com
