Our First Day in the Elementary Classroom!

​Dear Parents,
We had a wonderfully BUSY first day! The time flew by, I included in the student envelope the first assignment to return NEXT Tuesday. Any assignment handed out on a Tuesday will have the following week to complete and return. We do not have the same students in all our classes so each day will have its own assignment or nothing at all, just check envelopes.
​We discussed Betsy Ross today, made some predictions, and read chapter 1 together. I will read chapter 2 on Wednesday during snack time. Please get a copy of the book and read chapter 3, if possible, for next Tuesday. I do plan on reading 2 chapters in class, today we just had a few housekeeping discussions and ran out of time. Please be sure to bring a copy of the book to class on Tuesdays.
Today we learned a little about each other and then tried to graph our favorite foods, pizza being the #1 choice!!
Our assignment this week is to please discuss "timelines" with your child and
AT LEAST make a timeline of 5 personal events in his/her life so far. The birth and first day of HLT will be the 2 ends, just fill in 5 events in between each, from different years. Included in your envelope is a planning sheet and a timeline. The OPTIONAL assignment is to research what World Events were occuring approximately the same time as the dates you chose and graph them on the second timeline. We will be sharing these and then relating to the "timeline" of Betsy Ross; when and where our book is taking place. (Setting)
​Have a great week and remember to sign up for Remind, if you need to ask me any questions/concerns use Remind or my Email: staceyelliott91@gmail.com.
Thanks for a great day,
Mrs. Elliott
