Mrs. Adams:


I enjoyed meeting with you on Wednesday. I appreciate your support! Your children are wonderful and doing very well. Just keep reading at home and keep working on the leveled readers. Vocabulary and Comprehension tests will be on Thursday. Please study the vocabulary words a few minutes each day. Please remember if you have any questions to email me.:) Communication is very important!

Mrs. Craven:

It was wonderful meeting with most of you on Wednesday night.  I am sending home an extra practice sheet with this week’s homework folder.  Feel free to copy that and use to help your child.  Also, if they come home with a half finished sheet, they can sure use the extra columns for practice.  If they have a wonderful extra sheet they have worked on at home, have them return it and I can reward them at school.

This week’s Chinese homework is on odd and even numbers.  The word “odd” (just for numbers, not meaning strange) is 数单dān shu.  The word for “even” is双 数 shuāng shù which is the word of the week.  The paper asks the children to put the numbers in the correct place.  It is a cut and paste activity.  Remember, if you have any questions, feel free to call. (801)446-5271

Thank you to all who are encouraging your children to always do their best work and to closely pay attention in class.  Those children always feel better about themselves and they definitely progress more quickly.  There has certainly been a “learning curve” for all of us and I appreciate those who have come to school to help or have done projects and checking at home.  Any and all help in this new program is so great.  Thanks so much!

It appears that a little “strictness” is paying off.  Today’s tests were SO MUCH BETTER!!  Thank you for those who are working with your children at home to help them be successful.  I did send home two books this week that we have been working on.  One was folded to a half sheet and is pink.  It is about three little ants who are using leaves as “bumper boats”.  The other is a blue page folded into fourths and is about our American Flag. We have enjoyed studying them.  I hope you enjoy listening to your child read them.  I am going to attempt to put these books on a power point with audio, so you can hear them. If I am successful, I will e-mail this to you. 

Thank you!

Mrs. Adams  and Mrs. Craven
