Week of September 3rd

Happy short week!  I'm hoping you all had a great Labor Day weekend.  Of course it never feels quite long enough and there will always be things that need to get done.  This week we are talking about "Keeping In Touch".  Our story is about a boy who writes letters back and forth with his grandmother.  We will be starting to learn how to write a letter next week.  This week there will not be a writing assignment that needs to be checked at home.  It would be a great idea to explore different types of communication with friends or family that live far away.  This can also add to our Social Studies by learning about different communities.  If you have old letters around your house, photographs of people that  live far away, postcards, etc. please show them to your kids.  They are welcome to bring them in to add to our discussion!  Have a great week!
