HOMEWORK

This week our homework asks students to look carefully at their teeth and review the names and types of teeth that we discussed in class.  Finally, please read for at least 20 minutes or complete one READ-O activity each night.

ATTENDANCE 

We are struggling to begin our morning meeting before 8:10 because many of our students are not yet present.  Please make sure your child is ready to learn by 8:00a.m.  If you have more than one young child that you need to drop off in the morning, please see me, and we can make arrangements for drop off.  Please note that I mark all children who arrive after 8:05a.m. as tardy and it is noted in their records.

MATH 

    We reviewed time to the hour this week and will begin to explore and practice time to the half hour next week. 

SCIENCE

    We did an experiment this week to explore the enamel of a tooth. This showed us why we should eat helthy food and brush our teeth. We are also learning about the names and jobs of the different types of teeth.
