Welcome to 2009! We are happy to be back at school working hard. In Phonics, we are working on vowel consonant e words, like cake, to learn our long vowel sounds. In Writing we are working on descriptive writing. We are focusing on how to describe people. In Math, we are working on place value, and counting tens and ones. This can be hard for some students so please practice at home. Coming up in third quarter we will start learning how to tell time to the hour and half hour, and then how to count money. These important skills can be tricky, so practicing these at home will be vital. In Integrated Studies, we are in our social studies unit, exploring our community. We are learning about neighborhoods and jobs. We are having a blast!
