I had to leave early today. My son is sick. Mrs. Meeks was our guest teacher. I will go through the E Learning on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend!

Classroom assignments are getting hard! Not really, but, it feels that way! Several new routines and skills are being demanded on a daily basis. This includes reading directions and figuring things out. This also means reading things, several times, for understanding. This week we also started the "Open Ended Question." This gives your child an opportunity to have an opinion. This is hard! (It really is!) Until now things have been right or wrong. Hang in there! They will get it, I promise! Before you know it, you will have a second grader!!! My pushing is getting them ready for the second grade classroom. I feel fortunate to have taught second grade for nine years. I know exactly what is expected when they enter the classroom in August. Like I said earlier, they will get there. Some will go willingly while others will dig in their heels and not want to grow up. We all know that is not an option! I do encourage you to continue reading, as much as possible! Also, life skills, such as telling time, keeping a schedule, following a calendar, and counting money. These are things that need to be used often, beyond the classroom, to master and find meaning in learning these skills.
Additional Suggestion: Counting! Counting forwards and backwards. Counting by twos, fives, and tens. This is a great activity for a car ride, folding laundry, or even in the shower!
Swimming starts next week, February 12th!
Please wait to send the Valentine Mailbox. I don't want them until the week of February 10th. I am sending home the class list, today, so you can start writing out those Valentines!
