September 21 - 25

Can't believe we have now been in school for 21 days! :)

This week we will be covering the following topics as part of our curriculum:

L.A. - Schema, Hearing Sounds, Identifying consonants and vowels
S.S. - Timelines
Writing - Writer's Workshop (the process)
Math - Tens/Ones and Addition/Subtraction
Science - Sorting based on properties and patterns

And, as you have probably noticed, we will be handling homework a little differently than we did last week...and a little differently than some of the other 1st grade classes. :) In an effort to eliminate some confusion and give you a little more flexibility regarding WHEN your child does his/her homework, I will be sending home ALL of the homework for the week on Monday. It will be stapled together with a homework form attached. On the form there is a list of tasks to complete each day and a place for you to initial that those things were completed. If your child turns in this packet on Friday by 8:00 with each day initialed he/she receives a green ticket. :)

Hopefully this will help make the homework process a little simpler!

Have an awesome week!
