Second Day of School

If your child brings back homework that needs to be corrected. Discuss the misunderstanding and return the corrected work to school.

Today we briefly discussed the parts of a fictional narrative plot (The Little Engine That Could).

• The beginning (answers the questions who?, when?, and where?): A little engine was on its way over a mountain to bring toys and treats to the good boys and girls in the city.
• The middle (introduces the dilemma): The engine broke down and couldn't make it over the mountain. All the engines they asked for help would not help them.
• The end (solves the problem): Finally, a kind blue engine stopped to offer help and pulled the treat-filled train up over the mountain.

We have also begun the the initial battery of reading measurements which will be described in further detail at Back-to-School Night.
