What a whirlwind the first two weeks were! I've loved meeting your child, and look forward to getting to know each child even better. We've been building our reading stamina so now we're reading TWENTY minutes every day! The only homework students have is to read 20 MORE minutes at home (daily - on average). We've also dabbled in some writing - some quick writes, writing about our books, and also writing to create a six-word memoir that you'll be able to see at Parent Night on September 12th. Below is a quick note to you, and we've finally had the chat in ELA about how grades are going to look this year. The link was in your email, you should have a paper copy coming home with your child, and here it is again, in case you missed it. This is one change I've made over the past 25 years that I've found is both very difficult and very valuable.
Here's to a fabulous 2019-2020 school year! Check out the video below for a glimpse of our classroom.
