Dear Families:
I am always amazed at the growth first graders make from December to January. Your kids are ready to make leaps in their learning. I hope you have been noticing it at home too.
You may have noticed that the math is "revving up" as well. With the new standards and an engaging curriculum, your students are explaining and doing some pretty complex things in math. I know that some of the wording on the homework might be confusing, if there is ever an issue, please don't worry we can review it in class. As always, I want homework to be an enjoyable experience for families.
We are still waiting to hear confirmation for the Sweet Honey in the Rock field trip. I will let you know as soon as I can.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at: susannereed@berkeley.net
Thank you,
Susanne Reed
