Parents,
What a lovely first week of school! I enjoyed getting to know each one of our scholars and am excited to discover all the ways I will be able to best support them this year. Upcoming events: Thursday, August 17th - Math Quiz Thursday, August 17th - History Quiz Friday, August 18th - Half Day Tuesday, August 22nd - Curriculum Night (6:00-7:00) Friday, September 8th - School Picture Day Please be sure all supplies are turned in this week if you have not done so already. Math workbooks and Pink Spalding Notebooks will begin to be used every day! This week: We will begin sending home weekly Spalding words. Each night, your scholar will receive a piece of paper in his or her red folder with ten words that were studied that day in class. Please write the ten words three times, each in a different order, with the markings. Scholars will only receive half credit on homework if the markings are not included on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. In math, we will review numbers within 1,000. We will focus heavily on our number sense and how we can use it to support counting (ex: 900 and 30 and 4 make 934.) There will be a quiz on Thursday. Please be sure to complete the assigned workbook pages each night. In history, we will begin a unit on Geography. Students will identify the continents, oceans, our country, state, city, and community. There will be a quiz on Thursday. Please be sure to complete a 2-3 complete sentence summary each night on the left side of the history journal. In literature, we will begin reading The Boxcar Children. If you have not sent a copy of this literature book in yet, please do so as soon as possible. As we begin this year, please let me know if you have any questions. I am here to make this year successful for your scholar, and I know that is only possible by partnering with you. I look forward to working with you. Mrs. Bennett
