Wednesday - It's Flags Across America Day. Where can you see flags?

In math this week the big new concept is telling time to the hour. You might check at home to see if your child can do this. We are also counting to 20 by 2's, to 50 by 5's and by 1's. Some are still struggling with this. Your child should be able to do tally marks up to 20 by now. Do a quick check at home. If not, practice some.

Agendas need to be in school every day. Please have your child answer the question on the lines allotted for the day. Sign in the yellow box when your child has read to you. If this isn't done at home, we will do it during recess time at school.

Remember I will be gone next week. Mrs. Beal will be the substitute. In case you haven't heard I am off for my daughter's wedding in Columbus OH. It will be an exciting time for all of us. I am FINALLY going to become a Mother In Law!!! Thanks for your patience with this. . .not the best timing, but it isn't my wedding. I will return to class on Tuesday, Sept. 21.

Have a great week.
