Hello families!
We have had a great start to our year! I have really enjoyed getting to know your children over these past two weeks. They are a very sweet and funny group of kids.
We have already started hard at work on learning new content. In math, we have been working on place value. This next week we will be moving on to addition and subtraction. Please be practicing math facts with your kids every day! In reading, we are working on main idea and reading nonfiction texts. We are also working hard to assess all the kids and find out their current reading levels. Please have your kids read for at least 20 minutes every day! Next week, we will be introducing our first project based learning unit. We are going to be spending all year learning about healthy living and eating.
There is one issue that I need to share with you and ask for your support. We have been having a fairly major issue with talking and disrespect for these two weeks. I have to stop multiple times a lesson to tell kids to stop talking. It takes us almost five minutes to line up to go anywhere because they are talking, despite my asking them to stop talking. I have been using Class Dojo and it is only making a momentary difference. Please talk to your children about their behavior in class and whether or not they are meeting our school expectations for leaders. Also, please connect to my Class Dojo so that you can see how they are doing. Hopefully we can get this problem worked out.
Thank you for all that you do to support your child’s growth at school!
