Please click here for next week's spelling words and reading log. Unfortunately, I don't have electronic versions of the math, but I'm working on it. :)
Por favor, mira a la tarea para esta semana aqui. Ahora, hay las palabras ortografias y el diario de leer, pero todavia no tengo las paginas de matematicas en la pagina de internet.

Week of 9/13/2010
We had a wonderful second week in Room 204! We started centers, social studies, and P.E. I'm looking forward to more new, exciting things next week, such as garden classes and reading buddies!
This week, will be starting homework. On Monday, I will send home a clear plastic envelope with a reading log, spelling, words, and a sheet of homework for Monday night. Please return homework folders everyday and keep an eye out for notices that will also go home in the folder!
Also, please remember to send your child with one or two favorite books on Monday so that they can share with the class. Soon, I will upload a curriculum calendar for the year, updated weekly schedule (a couple things have shifted since I sent home the printed one last week), and homework info. Please look for links to those documents on the blog.
I hope you are all having a great weekend!
Familias - Yo sabe muy poquito de espanol, pero voy a tratar escribir en espanol tambien. Lo siento para los errores y la puntacion mala. Esta semana, vamos a comenzar con tarea. Lunes, voy a dar una carpeta a los estudiantes con un diario para recordar los minutos de leer, una lista de las palabras ortografias, y una hoja de tarea. Algunas veces, tambien estarria anuncios en la carpeta. Favor de devuelen la carpeta cada dia.
Voy a fijar mas anuncios aqui muy pronto, entonces favor de leer esta pagina de internet frecuentemente. Gracias!

Great first two days of school (and the plan for homework)!
Hello Room 204 families! I just wanted to post a quick note to say that we have had a very nice start to the year. We are practicing routines like morning calendar (as some of you have seen), and we are starting to get in the swing of math and language arts.
Today, we did the first two math lessons, which were reviewing how to write numbers. We have also started reader's workshop. Right now, our focus is on "staying inside a book", or being focused while reading. In writing, we wrote a sentence (or so) about what we would like to do in first grade. Popular answers were "make new friends" and "do lots of art". :) We have also begun interactive read-alouds, in which the children have a chance to discuss ideas with partners and do physical actions to boost their comprehension. Finally, we played an interactive reading game in which students got to search the classroom and label things like "door", "rug", and "compost".
We will plan to begin homework on Monday, 9/13, so that we can start out with a whole week. Homework will be reading for about 20 minutes each night, usually doing a page of work (most often math), and practicing spelling words for our Friday quiz (first one will be Friday, 9/17). For now, please read with your student at home. One trick to choose an appropriate book is the "Five Finger Rule". As the child is reading a page, if they come across five words that they can't read, the book is too difficult. Thank you for supporting your Cragmont dragon!
