Week 2

Hello everyone, 

This week, the class will be starting our weekly routine.  We will begin with mystery person.  I will be the first mystery person and we identify concepts of print (capitals, punctuation marks, etc.).  Each day will begin with finding out who our mystery person is that day.  The mystery person will be the line leader and special student of the day.  Next, the class will read two stories this week "The Cat" and "The Mat".  They are in our Language Arts curriculum.  We will follow with sequencing and pink worksheets that go along with our readings.  Then, we have a handwriting program.  Students will follow the correct first grade way to write letters.  This prepares students for cursive in Second grade.  Then, we have a new math program.  It will begin with counting to 100 in order and adding single digits.  There are several other things we will do in class.  For example, poem of the week, science (gardening), and physical education.  All in all, I am excited to begin the week and can't wait to meet all of you at Back-to-School night on Wednesday, August 27th.

Thanks, 

Mary Sandman
