Week two is under our belts! Our classroom family continues to grow together and learn about each other. It has been fun to learn about all of you as your children have their turn to share their family pictures. Thank you for sharing these with us! We had a successful fire drill and evacuation drill this week. Thank you for sending your child in good walking shoes today ~ please do the same next Friday for the Walk-A-Thon!
Do you like to see pictures of your child at school? I will be posting pictures throughout the year to our blog. Make sure you check them out often! As a working mom, I love seeing pictures of my children at school, and hope you enjoy them as well.
Please check your spam folder if you are not receiving emails that our blog has been updated. I registered anyone that had not done so yesterday. If you did not receive an email stating that I signed you up, please look for it in your spam dated 9-17-15.

Reading Workshop: This week we began our first reading unit, “Readers Build Good Habits.” We worked on building our reading stamina (number of minutes we can read without getting distracted). Ask your child to tell you how they, “warm up to read,” and how many minutes we were able to read!
Writing Workshop: This week we began our first writing unit, “Launching with Small Moments.” We worked on picking topics to write about, and telling a story across our fingers (first, next, then, after that, finally). Ask your child what “when your done you’ve just begun” means for their stories (add to the pictures, add to the words, or start a new story).
Math: We continued working though partners of 10. Ask your child to give you partners of a number (2-10) as you are making dinner, driving in the car, etc. Ask him/her what a switch partner is and what doubles means.
7 Traits of Happy Kids: For those of you new to Bauer, as a school we use the 7 traits of happy kids book to develop leaders. This week we learned about 3 traits:
1. Be Proactive
2. Begin with the End in Mind
3. Put First Things First
We also talked about the word perseverance this week. We read the book, “The Most Magnificent Thing” to discuss this concept. Ask your child to tell you about the book.
Have a wonderful weekend!
