Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying having your books and copies back. I will try and refer to some pages in my lessons this week, while also keeping in mind that the weather is promised good for the week.
I am conscious that parents have paid a lot of money for these books so I do plan on trying to finish them. However, as I have said already to a couple of parents, you don't need to feel under pressure to complete everything either, especially if you are working from home or elsewhere. The books are for you to keep so you might choose to finish some bits you missed in your own time when the summer comes. Also, keep in mind that your children have been learning and working for 7-8 weeks without any books, so an empty page doesn't mean they haven't covered it. We would generally use books as a resource to refer to - they are not the curriculum! :)
Maths:
3-D Shapes
This is a new topic so you might bare this in mind while introducing the words to the children. There are four on the junior infant curriculum so I will do one each day for the rest of the week.
