The students met Mr. Besel, our school counselor, today. Mr. Besel came to talk about what a school counselor does. He told the class he'd be back in a few weeks to talk about being a "bully buster." Students also had their first day of PE today with Miss Lisa. Thank you for sending your child to school in appropriate shoes today. I overheard Miss Lisa reminding students by having them repeat, "Tennis shoe Tuesday." Sam was our star of the day. We learned that Sam has 3 older brothers, a mom and day, and 2 dogs. Sam likes steak, the color red, and monster trucks. Our letter of the day was T. This morning students reviewed yesterday's letter and learned to write the letter Ee. Please help your child with this. What we want to watch is that they don't begin their letters at the bottom and work their way up. They need to start at the top and work down so that they are ready to switch to cursive in 3rd grade. I will send home a handwriting sheet in next Monday's envelope that describes the proper letter formations.
