September 16, 2009

Today we started to keep track of the weather on our weather calendars.  Everyone put the right weather in the number 16 box. Yay!

Knowing which book is just right for us to read is a very important reading skill. Today we began looking for just right books for each of us. Some children are already good at knowing what they can read. Others need a little help. But everyone will be choosing just right books within a few days.

A word about the homework calendars:  Those are for your convenience. Many families find it handy to have some suggestions about what to do. If you decide to use the calendar, you may have your child bring it back when it's completed and I will add a sticker and send it back home. The real benefit of the homework calendar is the time you spend with your child on tasks. It says, "I care about what you are learning." Any way you communicate that is wonderful.

If anyone is interested in a job stapling booklets together, I have a job for you!  Talk to me before or after school, and we can set up a schedule that makes us both happy.
