This past week we did a lot of getting-to-know you activities, brainstorming games, read alouds, and mini personal narratives. We jumped into math the second day of school and have just about conquered place value! The majority of students got their math homework done in class... thank you to those parents who helped their child complete the assignments at home. Every single student turned in their math homework this week -- UNBELIEVABLE!!! We're off to a great start, encourage your child to keep up the good work!
On Monday we'll begin our daily spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and math. It will take a few weeks to get used to these routines but once the kids get the hang of it I think things should run pretty smoothly.
We will also begin our grandparent interview project on Monday. I will send home a questionnaire for your child to fill-out as they ask their grandparents questions. This will lead up to a narrative writing piece about a story the grandparent shares with your child. The questionnaire will have more info and I will explain it in class. As always, if you have questions feel free to call or email me. It should be a really fun writing piece!
Thank you to those parents who came to the "back-to-school" morning, it was great to meet you. If you haven't filled-out the back-to-school packets (one for me, one for the office) please do so this weekend and send them to school with your child on Monday. If you have any questions feel free to email me: malorie.lifferth@jordan.k12.ut.us
Happy Friday!
Mrs. Lifferth
