Second Week

We are off to a strong start of the second week of school.  We had lots of parent responses in parent journals this week.  Thank you for that!  We will not write to you this week because of the Labor Day holiday, but expect that parent journal to come home the week after.  We will try to be very consistent about that.

Also, this is a Monday, but we have no graded work to send home, so no Monday folder this week.  When that comes home, just initial inside on the grid to indicate you have the papers.

I am thrilled with  how quickly the students are picking up the routines in the classroom!  I really appreciate how attentive they are during instruction time.  This is such a nice group of kids!

We completed our bio-poems this week, they are on display on the bulletin boards outside our classroom.  In Projects, we are beginning to work on a regional map of the United States.  Ask your child what region he or she chose and what states are in that region.  We are excited to learn more about each region.

Have a great week!
