August 20, 2012

We had a great couple of days settling in and learning routines and procedures. It was also really hot. I think summer decided to hold off until school started!

This week we will be learning how to be first grade citizens. We will start phonics and Daily 5 instruction. Watch for Spelling homework to come home on Monday (due on Friday), and Math homework to come home daily (due the next day). Don't forget to read each night for 20 minutes each day. Reading calendars will be coming home soon.

We also started to learn how to say the alphabet backwards. It was one thing that I never learned how to do in school, and I thought it would be fun to do. Here is the video we are watching.



We are going to have a great year!
