We had a fairly smooth and productive first day of school. Everyone did a great job of following directions and living up to expectations. I will be taking pictures of what we do this week and will post a slide show on Friday or Saturday. The students practiced passing papers and lining up with maximum efficiency. I began training them on using Think Through Math. Ask your child to retell the story "Lizzy's Lion" which was today's read aloud. I am looking forward to getting even more done tomorrow. Below are just a couple of notes.
The homework is probably a bit different than the children are used to, so this week my focus will be on helping them get on track with that. I will not be giving conduct marks related to homework until I am sure that they all know what is expected.
This year, we would like all students in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade to have an agenda. The agenda will provide a place for students to record assignments and reminders. It will also be a place for parents and teachers to communicate. The PTA is selling the school selected agenda for $5. There should be a note about it Tuesday or Wednesday detailing the procedure for purchasing. (If you ordered a supply pack from the PTA, your child already has the agenda.) Our goal is for every child to have this by next week so they can begin writing in on Tuesday.
Thank you, and as always, if you have any questions, please let me know.
