    -The students will need a lunch each day. They may bring their own or purchase a lunch from the school cafeteria. I attached the Food Service Website information above. 
    **For the 1st month...If your child wants to purchase a lunch, please just send in a post-it (small note) just to give me a heads-up so I know they need to get on the lunch line.  Sometimes kids will need a lunch, BUT will still bring in their lunch box with extra snacks, so I don't want to overlook them for the lunch line.

     We are starting a NEW Literacy Program this Year called "HMH Into Reading".  This program will introduce the uppercase letters 1st, and then the lowercase letters. The letters will be introduced as Alphafriends.  During the week, we will work on identifying each letter, the letter sound and printing the letter correctly. We will also work on many other literacy skills such as rhyming, parts of a book, story elements and sight words. Each week we will send home a parent note to let you know what the focus is for the week and how you can help our child at home.    
     
     
    Writing 
     
    Our writing program will be integrated with our reading program.  We will spend time each day learning how to be a writer.  We will start out slow-so encourage your child to write at home.
     
     
    Students will learn to write, revise, edit, and publish stories throughout the school year. They will also begin to assess their own writing and learn to implement the characteristics of quality writing into their own work.
     

    Math Envision

    We are working on Topic #1-Numbers 0-5

    • At the beginning of each topic, we will send home a parent information home page.  This will also include copies of our math vocabulary words.  You can keep these at home to use for review.  After each lesson, we will send home the corresponding homework page to complete at home.  These pages are meant to be done with help.
