Homework changes

Ok, I'm not sure what I was thinking last week...

I changed my mind about math homework for Monday. There will not be any math homework on Monday. The only homework on Monday is 1 phonics sheet.

Because of the music program Tuesday night and trick-or-treat on Wednesday, homework on those nights may very well change too. It will depend on how well we work throughout those days.

If anything, just trust that the sheets in your child's red folder is what is for homework that night.

What we are studying (week of 10/29)

Phonics:
Monday - lesson 41
Tuesday - lesson 42
Wednesday - lesson 43
Thursday - lesson 44


Math:
Monday - fact sheet for homework
Tuesday - lesson 6.1
Wednesday - lesson 6.2
Thursday - lesson 6.3


Spelling:
ham, plot, stamp, grit, frog, thump, crash, tuck, theft, rich
shin, dart, storm, bus, lost, turn, curb, burst, hurt, burn

Sentences: A red pup is in the barn. Set the cup on the shelf.


Reading:
A Trip to the Emergency Room
Please read the stories from page 220 to page 227.
Also make sure that your child can read the following words:

Music Program

Don't forget about the music program next Tuesday night. Every child needs to be in costume, and each child is welcome to bring a carved pumpkin to the music program to display on the stage. (Please bring to the program, NOT to school that day!) The audience is welcome to attend in costume too :)

Fall Break - Yippee!

We have made it through the first 9 weeks and now we are rewarded with FALL BREAK!! I hope everybody has a great four day weekend and that we all come back rested and ready to tackle the holiday season.

Here's a fun fact:
When we return from break, we will have:
3 full weeks of school
a 3 day week for Thanksgiving
and then 4 full weeks until Christmas vacation

Where does the time go?? I just don't know!

Conferences...

It was very nice getting to meet with so many parents. It's always nice for me to put faces to the names that I hear so much about from your children. I get good insight from parents too, and I appreciate that so much.

I apologize again, because I am truly an airhead when it comes to staying on task during conferences. I think there is so much that I want to tell you, in such a short amount of time, that it makes me jumble up my thoughts a bit. I hope that the typed up sheet helped with this.

I had a parent ask me if I let parents know reading levels as I retest in January and May. Usually, I do not do this. But, if in January (towards the end) you are curious about your child's progress, please email me and let me know. I'll be glad to get that information to you.

Thanks again for making the time to come in and meet with me!

New book orders are going home today. These will be due on November 9th.

What we are learning this week (week of 10/22)

Well, this week will be a little odd, and will not have the usual structure. This week we will not have the typical phonics, reading, or spelling lessons.

There will be the following homework on these nights:

Monday: Math lesson 5.6
Tuesday: Math lesson 5.7

If plans change and I send home more homework, I will update this blog so that you can know what to expect.
