It's a good day! We had a wonderful second day of school today. First off, we learned about proper expected behavior on the playground, bus, and in the cafeteria. The kids rotated from place to place until we hammered all of it home.
In Reading, we learned about John Adams and John Quincy Adams and their dangerous journey across the Atlantic on their way to Europe. Being bombarded by cannonballs will certainly make your trip more interesting. Then we went into an overview of Science and Social Studies this year. I told them I want to transform them into fans of history, the way I was transformed by my college history professor. We also did our first sustained silent reading and our second journal entry today--the kids even earned rewards points because they were so good when they were doing both.
In Math, we did a mini-lesson on prime numbers and prime factorization. Ask your child to show you the prime factorization for 24 and see if they can do it.
Meet the Teacher Night is next Tuesday at 7:30 in my classroom. Hope you can all be there!
Last thing, everyone needs to have an assignment notebook. If you didn't buy the kit from the school, you can still buy one from the office for $5. These are geared directly to Woodbrook, so it's important that each child has one.
