Here is a link to activities that you can do with your child when we are covering the different units.  These will benefit them greatly and help them review the concepts.

Week 2

What a wonderful week of learning.  We learned about local and state government this week.  In Language Arts, we began a unit on "Stories Worth Telling Again and Again."  This week we talked about Trickster Tales.  Your children can explain to you what a trickster tale is.  Problem Solving Strategies was our Math topic this week and will continue into next week.  I am trying to set the foundation of how to solve problems before we begin learning new math concepts.

Please try to come to Curriculum Night this coming Tuesday, August 28.  I look forward to seeing you again and answering any questions that you may have about the year so far.

I hope that your children are having as much fun as I am this year.  We sure are learning and growing together. 

First Week of School

Dear Families,

        We have had a wonderful first week of school.  I have learned everyone’s name, we are learning all of the procedures in our beautiful new school, and some significant learning has already begun.  Yesterday we learned about parts of speech and the scientific method.  Your little ones should be able to explain what a hypothesis is and give you some examples of parts of speech.  We have also been working on learning targets in our room and breaking those learning targets down so we really understand what is expected of us. 

        Your children are bringing home their first homework assignment this weekend.  This assignment is a typical weeks worth of assignments.  Please spread the assignments out throughout the week.  They are not due until Thursday. 

        Next week I will begin posting our newsletter on our class blog,  www.hahnsclass.blogspot.com.  I will send the newsletter home in paper form to anyone who does not have access to a computer.  Please let me know if you would like the newsletter in paper form. 

        I am so excited about this year’s class.  We have received multiple compliments about our kindness toward one another and our behavior.  Please know that I am always available.  Email is the best way to contact me.  I check it often.  Have a wonderful weekend! 

2012-2013 School Year

I am thrilled to begin this new school year with your children.  We are going to learn so much this year.  I will be communicating with you through this blog on a weekly basis.  This will be our newsletter.  I will also post pictures and describe lessons and events that our class participates in.  I hope this is a way for you to stay involved in your child's education.  Looking forward to learning and growing with you this year!
