Our First Monday - Notebooks Galore!!

Well we made it through our first Monday of the school year!

We started all of our content areas, including math, science, writing, AND reading.... WHEW!  I'm exhausted with all of the new stuff we went through today.

Our first science kit is circuits and pathways so we will be learning about creating circuit breakers and lighting light bulbs with batteries.  It's going to be SUPER exciting!  I am very excited.

Starting today students have reading homework (starting at 20 minutes per night for September) and math homework will start coming this week (probably tomorrow).  Make sure you check your student's planner to double check their assignments each night.

Tomorrow the work continues with building our reading stamina.  Ask your child what he/she can do to improve their reading stamina tomorrow.  Our goal is to be reading for 25 minutes straight by Friday - we have a long way to go since we started at 2:12 minutes today was our top record!  Let's keep working to get that goal!  :)
