I hope everyone had a happy and restful holiday season! I am SO excited to be back at school with your children, my heart is so happy to be teaching them again.
We will be easing into the 3rd quarter with practice and reminders for how to follow our classroom rules and procedures.
A few things to note as we begin...
-Your child will receive a new math workbook (labeled 1B) starting today.
-Within the next two weeks, you will also notice: a new reading log packet (sent home in their red bag), a new sight-word booklet (red bag), subtraction bubblegum math sheets (green folder), and, some students will begin receiving two books in their red bag, instead of one.
As always, please reach out to me with any questions. I can't wait to see what's in store for us this quarter!
