Good afternoon parents,
     First let me say how sorry I am that I have been out of touch this past week.   Many of you have contacted me and asked what happened.  I will give you the very short version.  Last Saturday, August 29, my son had a swim meet in Augusta, Ga. He was on the bus with his team and my husband, daughter, and I were on our way home in our car; when we were hit by a car that ran through a stop sign.  He was trying to get away from the police and was going very fast when he hit us.  Thankfully, everyone will be ok.  Bruises fade and broken bones mend.  Unfortunately I broke a bone in my lower back called the transverse process and that is what has kept me out of school this week.  I have a drs. apt on Tuesday and hopefully he will release me and I will be allowed to go back to work.  I have missed my sweeties so!  I know they have been in great hands.  


This week we will review characters, setting, and plot.  Our test will be on Wednesday.  Make sure to study those vocabulary words. 


In math we will continue to learn about addition strategies.  Most of these are similar to last year in first grade and should not cause your child any stress or anxiety over learning them.


This is a language week and we will be studying questions and statements.  Please make sure to look in your child's clear sheet protector for the notes on these types of sentences. 


We will be finishing up our unit on Maps and we will plan to test early next week. 

IMPORTANT

Please make sure to have your field trip form and your money turned in by Friday.  If you have had the SLED check and would like to go with us, please let me know as soon as possible.
