It is Friday! Wow...I will be honest...I'm looking forward to the weekend! It was a packed "short" week!
Lots of stuff coming up:
Next week:
Language Arts: Schema, Good Citizenship, Writer's Workshop, Identifying Sounds and Building Words, Reader's Theater, Guided Reading
Spelling: and, have, I
Math: Place Value
Science: Five Senses

Be sure to ask your little dragon about "the bank" today. We emptied out our money boxes and put it in groups of ten today. We then traded all the fives and ones for 10's! Question: is 14 5's the same amount as 7 10's? YES...70.00 is 70.00. How many 10's should I get for 50.00? How many 10's are in 40?

We had our first Robertson Round Up of 2009! The Cha Cha Slide (always a favorite) , The Grand Ole Duke of York and "ToeKnee Chestnut" were all performed! We celebrated August and September Birthdays with pencils and the limbo! And closed with our school song! Our next round up will be September 25th! Feel free to join us if you are available!

Well, I guess I'll leave so that I can be back here tomorrow morning! Mrs. Williams and I will be updating the First Grade Website...we will be adding ways to practice spelling words and other homework "goodies"! Don't forget "official" homework begins next week. Your child will start to bring home books and math work! Please try to have a specific time and place for homework nightly! Setting up a routine now will make it much easier as the homework takes more time!

Have a wonderful weekend! I am so happy to have your children in my class! AND thank you for all of your continued help and support.
