With half of week two of school done we are still getting into the groove of the new routine. I'm thinking the first month will have some kinnks but after that we should be smooth sailin'. We met with her teacher for cirriculum night last night which was very informative. The main emphasise this year is reading, reading, reading! We need to be reading with her between 10-20 mins a day. Eddie already reads with her every night so she is well on her way.
One thing Mrs. Asta talked about again, which we already knew, was the budget cuts and how they are really affecting the school. There will be no homework packets sent home. Ddaily homework will be reading and going over her spelling words. In regards to math they are not so much doing "math problems" as much as they are working on critical thinking and investigative reasoning. How to solve problems, not what is the solution.
I really like Mrs. Asta, she reminds me a lot of Vi's kinder teacher (who we LOVED). It is going to be a great year!!
