We
read The Twin Club this week and talked
about communities. We learned about
characters and setting. We identified
the subject and the predicate in sentences.
We
are learning addition strategies in math.
We practiced counting on, doubles, and making ten. Please practice doubles and near doubles at
home. We made doubles dudes and did this
doubles rap in class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG6n5xLt-0Q
Reflex
Math is set up and ready for your child to start practicing their math
facts. The website is https://www.reflexmath.com/go
The username is 2kadamscsd. The password is your child’s seven-digit
student number, the same one they used last year. I will send log-in sheets home on Tuesday.
Pearson is ready to go, as well. I will send home a parent sheet with
instruction for how to use it at home.
We
had an awesome Scales and Tails assembly on Friday. We had fun and learned a lot about reptiles.
Congratulations
to Brox Forsythe-Barker for earning our citizenship award for respect!
It
was great seeing many of you at Back to School night. If you weren’t able to make it, please read
the green disclosure, and sign the yellow form saying that you and your child read
it. If you have any questions, please
let me know.
If
you would like to volunteer in our classroom or from home, please send me an email. The regular classroom time is 10:30 to 11:30.
but we can also use afternoon volunteers, if that time works better for
you. The blank spots are open, and we
could really use someone every other Friday.

Many
students did a great job bringing back their homework packet on Friday. The packet includes a vocabulary practice
page, a spelling activity for each day, and a math review. If your child is spending twenty minutes per
day and is still not able to finish it, please write a note at the top
explaining that.
If
you haven’t sent back the PTA envelope, the green page I sent home, or your
child’s emergency packet, please do that as soon as possible. Please remember to sign planners each day.
I
will be sending home a book order next week, but you are welcome to go online
before that at https://clubs.scholastic.com
with our class code GYPDT. This is completely optional, but many parents
like to use Scholastic to buy reasonably priced books. The books you order for your child will help
us earn free books for our classroom library.
I prefer you order online, if possible, plus online ordering allows you
to order books from all the different fliers and to search for particular
books. I put some Kevin Henkes books on
my recommended reading list.
We’re
looking forward to SOAR week. Each day
we will review our behavior expectations at Sunrise and have tickets and fun
prizes for students who follow those rules.
Check the flier that was sent home Friday for more information.
We
have a wonderful class, and I have thoroughly enjoyed my first few days with
them. Thank you for your support and your donations. Please let me know if you
have any questions or concerns.
