A few other things to note:

W.I.G  (Wildly Important Goal)  After conferences, I had many enthusiastic students telling me how they were practicing for our MATH W.I.G., which is to count up to 100.  If your child feels prepared, have them tell me and I will listen to them count during snack time.

Habit 7:  Sharpen the Saw-  no, we are not having students use sharp blades in class.  Sharpening the saw means to have balance in your life.  Everyone needs to take time to do things that are good for your mind, body and soul.  That includes you too parents!  Have the students learn from your example.  I try to show the students that I live the Habits too.

Here are just some things we will be working in class over the next few weeks:

Reading:  We are working on retelling stories as well as practicing sounds.

Math:  We are practicing answering “how many?”

Social Studies:  We are studying needs and wants/ goods and services.

Science:  We are studying pushes and pulls.

Writing:  We will begin opinion writing.

Leader in Me:  We will live habits 1-7.

Have a great week!
