Begin Something New

Our three words for the day were very apprpriate.... "Begin something new." 
The fourth graders had a wonderful first day!  We spent time getting to know one another and getting to know the class procedures.  We played the Guess Who I am game, read a story called Loud Lips Lucy,  wrote about our first day of school feelings, and took a cursive pre-test.  During recess we reviewed the playground rules and talked with our friends.
Today your child brought home with red homework folder. Please take a minute to look through that and review the homework expectations that your child will have.  Please be sure to turn the homework sheet over and read both sides. Homework will begin on Friday. 
Tomorrow the Kindergarten color day is blue.  Thursday it is orange, and Friday it is red. Your child may wear these colors if they want to help the kindergarteners learn their colors.
Book orders and Highlight magazine forms were sent home.  Both help the classroom earn free things. Ask your child about this.
Please feel free to email or call me if you have questions or concerns!
