I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful Labor Day weekend! I know I did!

There will be a Lower Division Parent Workshop on "Technology in the Classroom and Training for My Community" on Friday, September 11 at 8:30 a.m. in the Student Activity Center. Anna Baralt will be able to help familiarize you with our on-line community, teacher pages, and things that we are doing with technology in the classroom.

In class this week, the spelling words will focus on the short i vowel sound. We will also begin learning about the "naming parts" of sentences, homophones, and contractions. We will complete our author study of Kevin Henkes books and continue to enjoy our time in writer's workshop. In math we will be working with the number grid and complements of ten. We will also begin our study of the Human Body in science. We will have our first visit to the Science Resource Center on Thursday!

Please remember that the word card rings which will come home tomorrow (Tuesday) need to be practiced daily and returned on Thursday. This week's words are get, hold, home, so, and soon.
