Week 2 is in the books! Our class family is really getting settled and I am so proud of how they are working to follow our established routines and procedures. We are continuing to work on controlling our "chattiness" and following directions the first time. This week we are continuing to roll out our reading, writing, and math workshops.
Below you will find an outline of the standards and topics we will be covering in class this week. Please be sure to check and initial the agenda every night and that your child is reading each evening. Please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions! :)
