End of the First Week

Well, we made it through the first week of school.  The students worked hard and had a lot of fun too.  We went over classroom and school procedures and rules.  We went to music and Spanish and played at recess.  We began our math and reading lessons and even made our first class book.  This will start coming home next week.

We will have our first Chapel of the year  this coming Wednesday.  As we continue our reading lessons, the students will start learning our Alphabet Chant which helps them learn the sounds that each letter says.  We will continue to practice proper handwriting techniques while the students review their letters, numbers and name recognition.

The class bear, Teddy, will start coming home soon.  If you have a special activity planned over a weekend, that you would like to share with Teddy, please let me know the dates.  I will try to send him home with your child at that time.  Also,  the "Can You Guess" bag will be coming home.  Remember that whatever your child chooses to put in the bag must fit all the way inside, must remain a secret, and must have three clues written and put inside.

See you on Monday,
Mrs. Keever
