Okay, so the note I sent home today said it was the 4th week of school, whoops, sorry. I have been working on lesson plans for next week all weekend and just got a little mixed up.
This week we are starting a new unit on apples so if you would like to send some in we could sure use some extras. If we get brave enough, this Friday we will try to make applesauce.
We will be working on the word family "at", so help your children think of "at" words like cat, rat, mat, etc.
Sight words for this week are:
I
a
the
see
run
cat
And vocabulary words are: blossom, petals, different and favorite. We are using these words to describe apples.
Homework this week will be mostly the paper books we talked about, you can keep these books at home, or a worksheet. Check those agendas daily, your child should have written their homework in them and have it all ready to go. They should also have their day's work in their agendas so you can see what we have been doing.
Again, Thanks for being such great parents. I love your children.

Clearing it all up...
Hi everyone,
So sorry about any confusion I have caused you. Sometimes there just aren't enough hours in the day.
I tried to get a note out to explain the bags, books and bookmarks but ran out of time before the bell rang. Thank you so much for reminding me. So here is the deal. I will send home paper books for the kids to read for homework. Please record the book they read on the bookmark. If a paper book isn't sent home you can select a book from home and record it. Reading nightly with your child is the greatest thing you can do to increase their vocabulary.
As far as sight words, we will be working on 5-7 sight words each week. These are words that are used often in the English language. If students know them and can read them without hesitation their reading will improve tremendously. I will post them here, and send home a paper copy each week so you can practice with them. The words for this coming week are:
Must
Over
Seven
The
Upon
Two
Thank you again for all your support. Mrs. Hamilton and I had a blast with your children this past week. They are all darling and we love them already.
Let me know if I can answer any more questions!

Our first day of school! I had so much fun and I hope everyone else did too! These are the best kids. Mrs. Hamilton is a favorite in our classroom and we are so glad she is there to help all of us all day. We couldn't do it without you Mrs. Hamilton!!!
We learned all about our classroom, talked about the importance of the flag, read the book "You Are Special" and "Sneeches". We talked about the letter M, drew the letter M, brainstormed M words and are going to bring in M items for our M board. Please look around your house for things that start with M and send them with your child. Oh, and we made playdough M's. Ask your child all about it.
Your children are so smart! They read the words been, a, five, one, jump, and has without any help! I can't believe how well they can read. Write these words with them as much as possible if you get a chance. For math we counted on a number line to 14, counted to 10 by 2's, and counted to 20 out loud.
I can't wait to see them tomorrow. Thanks for doing such a great job as parents.

School Starts...finally!
Yeah...School has finally started. Summer was good, but this school year is going to be GREAT!!!
We love our flag and will learn all about it and how to properly respect it this year.
We will also learn how special we are and how important it is to feel good about ourselves.
It's going to be a good one.
