Dear Parents, We made it through the first weeks of school and students have been working hard to make good choices and to get back in the work routine. They have all done a great job this week and 1st graders are adjusting well to the new environment. I look forward to working with you all this year and encourage you to support your child and their learning in class and at home. Our first field trip of the year will be to Pyrah’s Pioneer Peek on Wednesday, September 13th. This will be an all day field trip leaving by bus at 9:15 and returning around 2:15. Permission slips are in homework folders today. Please return them as soon as possible. Attached to this newsletter is this week’s homework menu and the homework explanation log. Please keep the log as a reference for your child to use when doing their homework. The homework format is the same as last year and students are encouraged to choose different methods to practice Spelling and Math skills as well as read daily. In addition to what they do for homework, we will also be doing Spelling and Math daily as class work. The main assignments for Spelling in class are to write the words two times each, write sentences using the words, put the words in alphabetical order, and drawing a picture with their words. We do math operations, practice telling time, and counting money daily as Math class work. The Go math books are that came home last week are an option for math practice also. If your child chooses to practice math in the go math book for homework, it is not necessary to send the book in. You can rip out the pages or simply initial that they did this on the log. Spelling homework will start the next week. Parents, remember we will attempt to go outside for recess even if it is lightly sprinkling so please have students bring the appropriate outside gear to school each day. It is getting cooler in the mornings and students will be outside from 8:30 to 8:50, so please make sure they have a jacket. Our pull-out schedule this year is as follows: *Monday- P.E. Mrs. Mack 1:00-1:15 *Tuesday- Library 1:05-1:35 *Wednesday- P.E. Mr. Horning and Music. 2:15-3:20 *Thursday- P.E.
