The beginning of the school year is an adjustment period mentally, emotionally, and academically for our younger learners. For this reason, a progress report will not be sent home for the first 4 ½ week grading period. Although some new skills are introduced and other skills refined, this is a time to let the children get accustomed with the routine and their learning environment before any type of formal evaluation of academic mastery occurs. Wow! What an exciting week this has been. We have started our reading groups and received our first Jack and Jilly Readers. We’ve been practicing our alphabet letters, sounds, and sight words. The children love listening to Clifford stories. We use the stories to discuss, parts of a book, author, illustrator, main character, setting, and making predictions. The students are enjoying guessing what Clifford will do next. We are off to a great start and finally settling into our new schedule. I’m so proud of them!
