I can&#8217;t wait to meet you in just a few short hours! This year we will be learning and mastering addition and subtraction with regrouping, discovering Earth\u2019s land forms and bodies of water, and exploring and learning about our community! We will improve our reading and writing skills using the CAF\u00c9 Menu during our Daily 5 literature block and 6+1 writing strategies during Writers\u2019 Workshop. We will also continue to use Blueprints to help us organize and add pizzazz to our writing! We will be having a lot of fun as we learn about these topics and much, much more!<\/p>\n<p>Because we will be learning about so many new things, please <strong>come prepared<\/strong> to learn! There are <strong>three easy steps<\/strong> to do this! <strong>First<\/strong>, get plenty of sleep! Seven and eight year olds need about 9-10 hours of sleep every night! <strong>Second,<\/strong> eat a healthy breakfast every day! Just like you can\u2019t drive a car without fuel, your body and brain won\u2019t run as well without food. Food is your body\u2019s fuel. So to keep your body and brain at high performance, give it premium fuel by eating healthy! <strong>Last<\/strong>, remember to bring the materials and supplies that you need for the day. Having what you need for your job at school will help you have a successful day. Getting your backpack and lunch ready before going to bed is one way to make sure that you have everything you need for school.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to getting to know you this year! I will be communicating mostly through the student agendas\/planners, so parents, please check and sign it daily! A class newsletter will be coming home every two weeks with important dates and events. \u00a0And keep checking back here, at our class blog!\u00a0That way you will be able check what the homework was, refresh your memory on what happened at school, and keep track of important dates!<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day!
