While it is not a new school year, the new year brings us the opportunity to count our blessings and set our goals. Each year, I am so thankful to be doing something I love - teaching. My husband and I are both blessed to be able to work in an area that we truly enjoy. I hope that whatever you do, you are fortunate enough to love it, too!
As we look to the second half of our year, we will be concentrating on new things. Reading will be less about oral reading skills and more about comprehension. Writing expectations will continue to be using proper mechanics (capitals, punctuation, etc.) and more emphasis on structure (strong beginning and ending.) Math will be about multiplication, double digit addition and subtraction and word problems. In Social Studies, we will begin a 4 week study of Famous People which will end with a reseach project for each student.
I continue to set high expectations for your children, because I know they can reach them!
