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!
