We continued our discussion of comparing and contrasting. We discussed synonyms such as alike, different, difference, and similarity. We had our first blending lesson with the short vowel 'a'. We discussed proper protocol and behavior expectations for blending. We continued work in our All About Me Books and began work on our ABC books.
In Social Studies we discussed ideas for being a good friend. I have failed to mention previously that in our Second Step training (violence prevention program) we are learning how to identify people's feelings. We are on our 5th lesson.
We continued our sockball game.We will try to finish up tomorrow. Whew.
The first monthly reading log was due today. Not everyone turned one in. I will not mark them late if they are turned in tonight at Back-to-School. Please remember that all reading logs are required for a minimum of a 3 in homework on the report card. Late reading logs are accepted until grades for the semester are due.
Tonight is a free homework night unless you would like to review the practice math test with your child. Nothing has to be turned in tomorrow. I will explain what happened with the homework tonight.
When you or a designated adult comes to room 11 tonight, please make sure to sign in. Your attendance goes on your child's permanent record with me (essentially this is a non-optional meeting). I will try to begin talking as close to 5:oo pm as possible. I will probably stop talking at 6:30. I will pause frequently for questions. Pencils and paper will be provided for taking notes. This is not an informal meeting. Much information will be given. Children of parents who do not attend Back-to-School night are at a serious disadvantage to those whose parents do.
