Dear parents,
We learned a lot this week, from adding doubles, to identifying the characters and setting in our reading. As a class, we continue to work on procedures and practicing our class rule of being respectful towards others, our selves, and our school. I was very impressed this week with our first spelling test in which we scored an average of 82.6%. Thank you for all your support from home in helping to study these words as well as complete the rest of the homework this week. We enjoyed listening to students share about their families today.
Starting this week, there are some adjustments to our schedule. I will send home our updated schedule this coming week. We will also be starting to have centers in class this week. This will be an added change to our schedule as well.
As we commemorate 9/11 this weekend, we will be reading books and discussing this event as a class on Monday. It would be meaningful for students to have an understanding of your experiences relating to 9/11. I encourage you to talk to them about where you were, and how this may have impacted your life.
This week, we also celebrate Chuseok. Therefore, there will be no school on Friday. The following Monday, on September 19 we plan to have a small class celebration in the afternoon. If you would be willing to help serve or bring in cultural treats/ snacks for the class, please let me know by Wednesday, Sep. 14.
Finally, some of you will notice that the spelling list has been adjusted for your child. If your child missed a word on their spelling list that was not one of our three hardest words (engine, lettuce, pocket), they will be repeating this as one of their spelling words for next week instead of one of the hard words that are on the list. Please let me know if you have any questions.
