The weather is perfect this weekend. We spent some time at the Maker Farm on Friday afternoon and then spent this morning at dance class for Arya and Kit. I can't wait to hear about all of your weekend's on Monday when we work on "Weekend News."
*In school this week, we will take part in "Start with Hello" week. Over the course of the week, we will participate in activities to increase kindness, make new friends and create a sense of community in our school.
On Monday, every student and staff member will wear a name tag. Kids and adults will be encouraged to say hello to someone new. In our class we will practice, "Hi, I'm Mrs. Conway. What's your name?"
On Wednesday, students are encouraged to wear their favorite socks, sneakers/shoes. We will talk about where our shoes have traveled.
On Friday, we will wear anything that will bring smiles to others. Examples include, a smiley face shirt, bright color, emoji shirt, Robinson shirt, LaCoste Strong shirt. We will talk about small acts of kindness and spread these across our school.

*Starting this week is Spelling Homework. On Monday, students will receive their spelling list as well as a Spelling Tic Tac Toe. Students will have activities to choose from to practice their words. We encourage two nights of practice each week. If your child already knows the words, you do not have to do the activities. New activities are shared each week to work on spelling words. If you find an activity that works well for your child but isn't on that week's list, please do it!! We will also practice these words in class this week. On Friday, we will have a spelling check-in.
* Unit 2 will start on Monday. Our focuses this week are:
*counting on (starting at 5 to count up 3 more)
*turn around facts (1+2=3 so 2+1=3)
*2 Fisted Penny Addition (combos of 10)
*Subtraction Number Stories
*In Daily Five, we continue to practice Read to Self, Read to Someone, Work on Words and Work on Writing. We will introduce Listen to Reading (Raz Kids) this week. Last week we began reading groups (the earliest we've ever been ready since they've been working so well independently.)
Looking Ahead:
October 2nd- Picture Day
October 14th- No School, Columbus Day
