Happy first day of fall!!! The kids had no homework today. We finished the math test and the integrated theme test today, and that took almost all of out math and reading time. We worked on making more detailed sentences, and they described their favorite kind of candy by using their five senses. I will not be here tomorrow, because both of my babies have a doctor's appointment, so check planners tomorrow for homework. Have a great weekend!

First Day!
What a great first day of school! I am so excited to get to know these children and their unique personalities. The day seemed to fly by, and there were a lot of things that I didn't get to... Maybe tomorrow??? We will be giving a math placement test during our math time tomorrow. It is a multiple choice test, and the questions are things that they should have learned last year. This will just give me an idea of what they know and how I can help them.
Before MAP testing you always get letters asking you to make sure that students go to bed early and eat a good breakfast. I cannot stress enough how important that is everyday. If we want our minds to work, we need to take care of our bodies. I hope that the kids had as good a day as I did!
