Ms. Barrett In response to some questions about homework, here's a reminder.

Math Homework comes home MOST nights. Your child may do the homework independently OR with your help. The important thing is that he/she makes you aware of what he is learning in math at school. We request that you CHECK your child's work and have him CORRECT ERRORS and that you INITIAL the homework indicating that you have checked it. (Answers for all homework sheets are in the pink Parent Letter you receive at the beginning of every unit.)We want to avoid having the child do it himself and not show it to you to be checked. That defeats the purpose of communicating with you! We go over the homework together the following day in school,so it's important that your child returns the paper promptly.Your child receives a sticker if the paper is returned the following day AND contains your initials. Thank you for your help with this.

More about homework, next time...

Ms. Barrett Tomorrow afternoon, Thursday, October 23, our class will walk from Consolidated School to the Grist Mill. There the Conservation Trust will conduct several activities for the children relating to the function of the old grist mill and the boatbuilding that took place at that site. We'll participate in activities inside the boathouse as well as outside. Please be sure your child is dressed warmly for the walk,as it is supposed to be cool tomorrow.

Ms. Barrett In science we've been learning about human generations. (A generation is considered all the children of a set of parents. You are in the same generation as your sisters, brothers, cousins, and classmates. Your parents, aunts and uncles are all in the previous generation; and your grandparents are in the generation before that.)

Your children are coming home today with questions they've come up with to ask parents, grandparents and great-grandparents (IF they are fortunate enough to have them!) about what it was like to be a child in each generation.

Please take the time to help them with the parent interview and connect them with grandparents to interview if possible.

I would like to have the interviews back by this Friday, October 3. If you need more time, just let me know.

Ms. Barrett Our second-grade social studues curriculum asks us to look at other cultures in the world. We call this our Trip Around the World.

We began our trip yesterday with a visit from three college students from Turkey, who have been working at the Clam Shack for the summer. Mr. and Mrs. Kingston brought them in to teach us about Turkey. Ask your child to tell you some things the young men told us about their country. It was fun for all of us to have them visit. We even tried to learn to count to 10 in Turkish!

I welcome any of you who would like to come and teach us about another country or culture. Please let me know if you or a relative or friend would be willing to help us with our trip around the world.

]]> Math Homework Has Started tag:www.kport.org,2008:/Barrett//19.1154 2008-09-23T14:49:20Z 2008-09-23T14:57:53Z Ms. Barrett Despite that fact that Trevor wore his shirt that says, "Homework kills trees!", I did give the class their first math homework yesterday. Feel free to help your child, and be sure to discuss the homework with him/her, and sign your initials showing you have seen it. Have your child return the paper on the following day, as that is when we will discuss it. If your child is unable to complete the work, please jot a note saying she/he tried. Thanks for your help with this.
