It's a new school year!

Welcome to our class blog GMA families. This year I will be blogging about our Kindergarten and First grade Little Red School House classes.

Each child was given an orange folder for MATH. Please have your child bring this to class each day.

Each child will be given homework each class period. Please complete the homework with your student and have them return it. Please also indicate if the homework was too hard or too easy when you return it. Tickets will be rewarded to students who bring homework back and at the end of the semester we will have a class store where they can use their tickets to buy fabulous dollar store finds. ;) The envelop on the back of the orange folder is a safe place to store the tickets.
