Happy Friday!

We had a ton of fun welcoming our new first grader to the classroom on Wednesday. We played some name games and the second and third graders got to act as guides and demonstrate different works and procedures in our classroom. Snack calendars are going out today in homework folders. Please remember that we have allergies to nuts this year. Thanks!
Homework packets are going out today and are due back next Friday.  In the packet you will find a homework menu. This menu has a list of choices for you and your child to pick from for homework. It is divided into spelling, reading, and math. Spelling lists are located on the back of the homework menu. Yesterday each group got to pick their name for their spelling group and we definitely got some fun names again! J
Go Math Workbooks are going home again this year to be used as a homework option. On the Homework Log there is a list of the chapters that the district wants teachers to focus on for this quarter. You can pick a work page from those chapters to count as a homework assignment. You can also have your child do the pages as extra practice. We may or may not have covered a specific topic when you choose that page. So, you may have to help your child with it. Again, this is just an option. As we are using Go Math as a supplement to our Montessori Curriculum, we may not go in the exact order that the Go Math goes. The workbooks are to stay at home. Please just send in the page they completed or just mark the box and keep the workbook intact. Let me know if you have any questions about homework.
            Thank you so much for all the wonderful school supplies that have been coming in!
