First Week of School

The first week of school is going really well. We are focusing on reading strategies, practicing fluency, reviewing consonants and vowels as well as their sounds, beginning fluency tests, beginning addition and subtraction strategies, and will soon begin the writing process through journaling and writing reader's responses.

Updates:
Gym will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays this year. Please make sure your child wears gym shoes and the RAB gym uniform to school. If they don't have a uniform yet, have them wear a white tee shirt and black shorts or pants until the uniform is purchased.

The only homework this week is the Summer Souvenir project, which came home in your child' yellow folder. This folder is of UTMOST importance in 202. All homework and notes will come home in this folder everyday. Beginning next week, our class will have reading and math homework Monday-Thursday and a Book Report on Friday. The book report can be turned in early.

Students will receive a book report every Friday that will be due the bext Friday. The first quarter will focus on Fictional text and next quarter will focus on Non-fiction.

I look forward to meeting you all at Open House-DETAILS TO COME SOON!
