Hi family and friends! Here's what we're learning this week:

      Math: reading, writing and counting numbers 1-3

      Social Studies: responsibility and perseverance, learning the Smyrna Elementary School pledge

                    "I pledge to be a Superior Soaring Eagle.

                      I will show compassion by being kind.

                      I will be respectful all the time.

                      Integrity brings the trust I earn.

                      I will be responsible for what I learn.

                      I will persevere by giving it my best try.

                      So let's start each day with a high five!"

      Phonics: rhyming one and two syllable words

      Reading: letters of the alphabet, saying the alphabet without singing, sorting letters/words/numbers
