Thank you for all of your hard work and support!!! I have had requests for homework, but please remember that the homework is to review ABC's and how to write them as well as the sounds.  Continue to read with your kiddo.  Also, please review the number 1-30 and how to write them.  These concepts are very important as they are the backbone to all of their education.  Thanks!!

Nonfiction: Polar Bears!

We will be starting to talk about nonfiction and how to write facts.  We will start this unit discussing polar bears and writing about the information we learn about them. 

Leadership Quality:  Our new leadership quality is justice.  I will be discussing with the students how to be fair with one another, listen to each person's side of the story before making a judgement, and the difference between tattling and informing.  I will also see what the students believe justice to be.  I will be looking for these qualities in the students throughout this month especially.
