Mrs. Wright's Class

Hooray for the first 2 weeks of school. Your kids are doing amazing. Everyone is learning our routines, becoming an active member in class and following the six pillars of character. I am so proud of the progress each of them is making.
We started our math and reading curriculum this past week. As you probably noticed in the paperwork that came home we learned the letters Mm and Ss. Please talk daily with your child about the sound each letter we are learning makes, practice writing the upper and lower case letters and brainstorm words together that begin with our letter/s of the week.
In math we started Chapter 3 which covers number 0-5. This chapter should be a breeze! I ask that you also reinforce number writing at home, some of the numbers (2 and 5) are a bit tricky at this point in the year to write. The more your child practices the better they will get!
The first homework packet went home on Friday. Your child has an entire week to complete the activities assigned. If you should have any questions about the worksheets or activity sheet, please do not hesitate to contact me. Listed below is our specials schedule for your reference. Please remember to send your child to school in gym shoes on our P.E. days.
