Report card testing starts soon! PLEASE keep working at home on our addition unit. We had 10 students pass our first test. This means that 12 still have some catching up to do!
We have started learning our orange words! Please practice sight words at home. A complete list of the words is located on our blog (which I have been updating!)
Dear Parents,
This is a short week of school and a long weekend! We will not be having school on Thursday, Friday, or Monday! Yipee! This newsletter will be short and sweet.
The aquarium was a blast! I think everyone had a great time. Thank you so much to the chaperones that were able to come with us. Because of you and your patience, the students in my class are still talking about what a great time they had on Friday. Thanks again!
This week we are reading The Mitten by Jan Brett. This is a classic children’s story that I have pulled off the shelf for these three days. We will be working on sequencing and creative writing as we read. Our letter of the week is W.
Tomorrow is our Valentine’s Day party. We will be making bags today (Monday) to be sure that everyone easily gets home with their love loot. The party will start at 2:15. Please send in your Valentines tomorrow!
I am still holding off on play centers. The children did a better job of following directions, but they still aren’t where they need to be. I am teaching them to start acting like first graders. At this point in the year, they know how they are expected to act. Until they choose to act this way, we will not play. As a whole we are still having problems staying in our seats, raising hands to speak, and keeping our hands to ourselves! I hope to get them whipped into shape so they can enjoy centers next week.
Have a great long weekend!
