Math
Next week we will be winding down our first unit in math.  Please look at the single math paper that came home today with the score on the top.  That was entered into Mastery Connect today.  We will be taking an assessment in a couple of weeks over the topics we have been learning.  There will be a lot more practice prior to taking the assessment.
I want to brag on how hard the kids worked in math today.  They were amazing!

Math
We are working hard on addition and subtraction fluency. I am so proud of how hard our class has been working!  We will continue working on addition and subtraction fluency this week.  Please feel free to look over the math packets and discuss with your child what they had done that day in math.  We will not be completing all of the pages or problems in the packet.  We focus on a certain few to help solidify their understanding.  The extra problems are great practice if needed.
NO SCHOOL
Please remember that school will not be in session for students on Friday, September 2 or Monday, September 5th!

Math
This week we got to start our new math curriculum.  The kids will be coming home with a stapled packet of math papers.  There will be some that are not finished.  Those unfinished papers are not homework.  You are more than welcome to work on them with your child, but I am not expecting the kids to get them finished and turned back in.  They can be for extra practice at home, if wanted. :)

Writing
We have been getting into the routine of writing daily and keeping the writing in our binders so we can go back to it when we want to expand on that story.  We will be starting narrative writing next week.  I can't wait to read their stories!

Social Studies
We are going to be doing a lot of community builders with our classmates to help us know each other even better and to build a sense of community.

Fundraiser
Today we had our fundraiser assembly.  The kids are coming home with their packets.

These first two days of school have been a blast!  I have an amazing group of kids who I get to spend this whole year with.  I think I am the luckiest teacher at East!  

Some things to know:
Class Dojo-  I sent home a sheet to show you how to sign up for Class Dojo.  It is alright if you have lost the sheet because I can also send you invites digitally.  Dojo is used to monitor your child's daily behavior.  This is a wonderful way to monitor their behavior at school.  Starting next week they will be recording their points on a sheet that will be kept in their take home folder.  If there is a behavior problem I will contact you.  Don't panic if your child loses a point once or twice.  We are just getting back into the hang of school.  I would check your child's folder nightly to see how they did that day and on Fridays you will sign the sheet showing you have seen their behavior chart.  If signed, they get an extra point on Mondays.:)  Please let me know if you have any questions.

Snack
This year the kids are responsible for bringing their own snacks.  Please remember to send a healthy snack with your child for snack time.  

School T-Shirts
There was an order form that went home on Meet the Teacher night for our school Friday shirts.  The shirts are $5.  Please send in the money with the order form because the shirt has to be paid for prior to being ordered.

All About Me Bag
Today the kids are coming home with a brown lunch sack that has a note stapled to it explaining what to do.  This is a fun way to get to know each other.  I shared mine today with the class.  They can bring their bag in on Monday and we will share these all week next week.  As soon as your child has shared, they will bring their bag home with them.  Please only put items that fit in the bag, nothing bigger.

Have a fantastic weekend!
