Class pet

Our class has discussed having a class pet. I felt that it was best to purchase something that would not be a huge burden to keep alive. I have purchased a stuffed animal that you will see at some time during the year. The class will vote on names this week and I will post the final decision with a picture some time on Friday.

The purpose of having this class pet will be to help students with class responsibilty. Each week a student will take the animal home. There will be a journal sent home with them as well. This will allow the student the opportunity to journal and practice their writing skills as well as share ties with school and home. I would like families to become involved with this project. Please feel free to add pictures to help make the journal interactive. I will be sending information home with the journal, please let me know if you have any questions.

A Very Busy Week Ahead

This week will be a very busy week for us. We are jumping right in on Monday to our math book, it will be just be a review the first few lessons, working on addition. I will be sending home phonics words on Monday as well. Please note that our phonics test will be given on the following Monday, August 27th. I will post the words here weekly in case you should lose the list of words.

Please remember that homework sent home each evening will be due the following day. If homework is not returned, this will result in a change of a behavior card. Please remember to initial your child's behavior calendar each evening. I will be viewing behavior calendars daily.

Thank you in advance for your support.
