Parent Excuses:
Each student is allowed 6 parent excuses per year (this is a change from years past). Parent excuses can be a hand written note or you may email the excuse to your child’s teacher and copy the excuse to: PPattendance@trussvillecityschools.com.
An ORIGINAL doctor’s excuse may be turned in from the parent by the student. Doctor’s excuses may be faxed to 205-228-3201 ONLY by the doctor’s office. We can NOT accept a faxed doctor’s excuse from a parent.
All excuses MUST be turned in within 3 days of the absence
Reading
Weekly Learning (RF.1.1.a, RF.2.a,b,c,d)
Our reading lessons for the next several weeks will focus on the foundational skills needed to be a good reader. We will break apart words into syllables and sounds with an emphasis on short vowel sounds. The students will be expected to spell one syllable words with short vowels.
Writing
Weekly Learning (W1.2, 1.7)
Since young children are curious about the world, nonfiction reading and writing will be woven throughout the curriculum throughout the school year. By beginning early on, we are preparing young children for nonfiction material they will be presented with and be expected to generate as they progress through the grades into adulthoodMath
Weekly Learning (1.NBT.1; 1.NBT.2a,b,c; 1.OA.8)
Our daily math lessons are a balance between problem solving, computation, and number sense. I try to teach math concepts/skills in a logical order. The students must be able to apply these concepts in problem-solving situations on a regular basis. I model math strategies for the whole group and provide multiple opportunities to practice each strategy. I emphasize the process of figuring HOW to solve a problem just as much as finding the right answer. Math homework will be assigned twice a week, usually on Tuesday and Thursday. Please check over your child’s homework for accuracy and understandingMost Valuable Player- Good Citizen
