Hello to all my families and students. I'm curious what your thoughts are about how this year is going so far. We've had many changes this past year, and have had a couple months adjust to those changes. So now I'm wanting to hear from you:
How are the routines?
How is the homework going in your home?
Are your children still happy and excited about school?
Are the Book Bags proving helpful?
What are you hearing from your children that maybe I am not?
Please take the time to respond, even if you don't have much to say, a simple "Things are Great!" will work. I'm wanting to make this blog a collaborative process to better my practices and best meet the needs of your children. I hope you are satisfied with the structure and pace of my class. I'm feeling very confident in the direction of our class, and feel like I am keeping pace with the expectations of both Kindergarten and 1st Grade standards as I learn the new curriculum, however any input you have will be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all who have been helping in the classroom, and to all of you who have been putting in the extra effort with your children at home. I see it in their homework as well as what they produce in the classroom. Keep up the great work!
How are the routines? Great!
ReplyDeleteHow is the homework going in your home? Very good!!!
Are your children still happy and excited about school? Of course =)
Are the Book Bags proving helpful? Yes!
What are you hearing from your children that maybe I am not? Riley says things are going great and she loves school!
I have to say I am very happy with the way the class and Mia are progressing. The kids definitely know the routines and the majority really seem to stay on task. For all the moms and dads reading this, I definitely think it's helpful to Mr. Linnet and the kids when you have time to come in during centers. It lets Mr. Linnet focus on individual kids, while us parents try to take care of anything else the other kids might need.
ReplyDeleteHomework is going great for Mia. I really like how they are working on Main Idea / Details already; it's a great way to get them ready for the older grades and to really understand the story. The book bags are working out really well too. Mia loves reading her books to everyone in our family. I was wondering if the first graders are going to start reading non-fiction like last year and then do a book report on the book? I thought that was fantastic and challenging for the kids.
All in all I think this K/1 class is working out very well!
My daughter is a first grader in Mr. Linnet's class and is having the best time ever! She looks forward to going to school every morning and can't wait to get home and do her homework. She LOVES to read and does so every chance she gets. I know she is thrilled with having a routine in class and appreciates the structure she is given, as well as the independence that I believe is necessary to grow as a student. My husband and I especially enjoy seeing our daughter eager to learn. We look forward to the rest of the school year. :-)
