Hello,
We had our first library class of the year today. Hopefully you will see a different book or two make it home in the book bag tonight. I noticed most of the kids are into activity books: origami, magic tricks, etc. I like those too, but I'm going to try to sway them into taking books that require more (or at least some) reading as we move forward.
We took the NWEA math test this afternoon as well. I was impressed by the effort that most of the kids put into the test. Hopefully it will give us an accurate reflection of what they know and don't know. I was struck by the number of algebra problems that I saw. They should get more comfortable with that as the year goes on.
Another day of indoor recess, so your child might come home with a little energy. At least it cleared up so they can run around a bit.
First (counting) spelling test of the year tomorrow. Your child should have ten words that they are working on. Most of the words come from words that they missed last week, so a little practice is needed.
I'm going to the Edward Hopper show at the Bowdoin Museum of Art tonight. I'm looking out at my wife waiting in the parking lot as I type this. I think I'll stop here.
Have a good night.
Mr. Shea
