We've had a great first week! We are learning about how Reading and Writing Workshop flows and works in our classroom. In math we are working on addition facts.
Spelling will be different this year than in the past. We will be doing word study and we will not be having weekly tests. When we are ready to start, I will give you more information.
We have a class blog at www.hayscorner.blogspot.com . I hope to post new things about what we are learning in our classroom a time or two a week. Check it out! Enter your email address there if you wish email notifications of blog updates. If you have any questions regarding this, please email me at jhays@wawasee.k12.in.us.
We don't eat lunch until 11:55a.m. - that's much later than when your child was in first grade. They often get hungry in the morning and love a small snack. If you are able and haven't already, please send in a snack for the class snack cabinet for us to share. Healthy, economical items like crackers, cereal, and pretzels are excellent. Your kids thank you!
