Conference Week

This week is going to fly by and the schedule is crazy. School gets out on Monday at 1:30 and  Tuesday at 2:30. Then students are released at 12:00 the rest of the week to allow teachers and parents to meet and discuss individualized learning goals for all students.

In class we will be focusing on the letters 'Ii" and "Tt." We will also be reviewing our HFW's and focusing on "the." During math, we are still working on numbers 1-10 primarily with a focus on representing them using tally marks. We will continue to have fun as we read and learn about penguins.
