Today in class we learned more about classroom rules and how to stay on green. We also finished painting our book boxes and did an end-of-the year 1st grade math assessment. I think the most popular activity today was centers- we will do these everyday. I use centers as a way to differentiate work for children at different levels and to review skills that we are learning. This week we are reviewing addition and subtraction as well as rhyming and blends (the ch, sh, th, wh sounds). The kids were a little sad that we had to do inside recess today so I am hoping for good weather tomorrow!
I sent home 4 pieces of homework (they were all stapled together). They are:
1. A sheet asking you to send supplies for your child to decorate his/her writers notebook (magazine clippings, pictures, photos, puffy paint, whatever you think would be fun!) If you cant get it right away, no worries. Just try to send it by Monday.
2. & 3. Two sheets to practice writing your phone number and address. All 2nd graders should know this and it makes me worried when I realize that some kids don't know their phone numbers in case of emergency. Please practice these skills so your child can earn a fun safety prize on Friday for passing this quiz :)
4. A behavior program overview with signature. I just want to make sure we are all on the same page and know about the school-wide behavior prgram (parents and kids).
This is the only time 'random' homework will be coming home to you. We will start our regular Friday-Friday homework next week.
