The A-Team has gotten off to a GREAT start so far! We are getting to know one another and understand the expectations of out classroom. If you or your student has any confusion, please call, email, or write a note in the agenda!
Tonight we have our first homework assignments. Students will complete math lesson 1-1 in their homework book. Please do not tear out the pages, tomorrow night's homework is on the back of tonight's. Please sign, or initial, the math homework. This lets me know that your student was able to do the homework without too much complication. If your student struggled with a concept, please let me know right away. Homework WILL ALWAYS be practice of what we learned that day.
The second assignment tonight is to finish their vocabulary sentences. About half the class finished this in class today. Everyone was given 30 minutes, and a sentence starter for the 8 sentences. All sentences will have at least 7 words in them (7-Up sentences); have a capital letter and punctuation mark; and answer at least TWO Ws (who, what, when, where, why, or how.) Example: I know that it is treacherous to drive on icy roads in December. This sentence answered what: drive, where: icy roads, when: December. The students are to write two sentences per word; an example of the word, and a non example. Of course the first few times we do this assignment I will be very easy on my grading. Within a few weeks the students will become pros at this.
So far, we've had a great first 4 days! I am looking forward to getting to know you and your children better. Please remember my door is always open for you. If you have any questions, comments, concerns, please do not hesitate to bring it my attention.
Thank you so much!
