Today was a good day. We studied the sounds and formation of the letters 'm' and 's'. We learned the meaning of the word threshold and a new meaning of the word arcade which some students will be able to articulate to parents. We also began our violence prevention training (Second Step). For homework we brought home math classwork to complete and return as well as a very short book to read to family members which contains some review words from kindergarten. It would be very helpful as well if each child brought back their emergency form filled out legibly tomorrow.
A personal note: I have to tell you that this was one of the smoothest (if not the smoothest) first days of school I have experienced. I believe it speaks volumes to so many things you do as parents. It's nice to have a class full of children prepared for school and ready to learn. Thank you for all you do.
Tomorrow I will send a reading log home for the month of August due at the end of the month (08/30/13). You will receive 3 reading logs for each reporting period. The logs count for part of the homework grade. If a reading log should happen to get misplaced, simply turn in a list of the books you read with your child for the month with your signature, child's name and number, and the month written on it. Books sent home from class do count as reading material for the log. If you are reading chapter books, one chapter can substitute as one night's reading on the log.
