Dear Parents,
I hope you all enjoyed Labor Day! I was pleased to see some rain:)
Please remember to write back to your child in their Letter Writing Notebook and make sure it is sent back to school. If you see Power Writing on the homework sheet it means that your child will pick a title from the back of the homework calendar and write about it....a minimum of five sentences is required about that topic.
Please click on the page links on the right to see the Standards we will be working on for each curriculum area in the first nine weeks.
This week in class we will be working on the following:
Math – Simple Addition to 12 (no regrouping).
