Welcome back to CPE. Thirty-five kiddos new to 4th grade are filling Room 15 with a ton of energy each day. The first week is all about learning routines and reacquainting ourselves with such academic concerns as thirteen take-away six. It’s slow going at first. Students already have homework, which includes 20 minutes of independent reading and a math review sheet. They also carry with them an “assignment calendar,” which is designed to keep them organized. Their math homework can also be found here, on The Daily Platypus. Here it is for this week: Tuesday, Sept. 2; Wednesday, Sept 3; Thursday, Sept. 4th. Finally, if you haven’t seen my September Letter to Parents, please take a look at it here.
