We are off to a great start. It is so wonderful to see all of the smiling faces here at New Holland. I enjoy the opportunity to greet everyone as they walk to their homerooms each morning.
In reading, we started the year by talking about what good readers do. The following are suggestions from the children:
Good readers: never stop trying
concentrate
share
focus
listen
think about what they are reading
try their best
One of my favorite online sites for reading is http://www.wegivebooks.org/books.
There are a variety of books for you to read aloud online to your child. Access to the books is free. Since we are studying about the solar system, I am including a link to the book “Moon Stories.”

In math, we are starting the year by studying counting, place value and comparing numbers to 1000. We are learning different ways to show the same number.
Here is a link to a cute place value song:

Thank you, parents, for all you do to support and encourage your children!
