Spring party

Thanks a ton to all of the parents that helped with the spring party. Here are a few pictures!






I hope everyone has a fantastic Spring Break!

St. Patrick's Day

I know it has been a while since I have posted anything. Next week is St. Patrick's Day. We will not be having a party per say but we will be doing an eating of the greens. We are looking for donations of any green food. The food must be store bought. It can be sweet or healthy, hopefully we get a good mix. This is an activity we will be doing with our 3rd grade buddies from Mrs. Orr's class. Hopefully it will be a fun activity.

Valentine Pictures

Thanks to all of the mom's who helped with our party! We had a great time.

February 2 - 6

This week we will be working on number sense, reading buddy Guessing Gus the Lion (he tells me that I can make predictions or guesses about a story by looking at the pictures, title, and words in the story. Making predictions before I read will help me while I'm reading!), finish up our unit on blends and diagraphs, and continue our unit on water.

Tuesday and Wednesday are SEP conferences. Please try to attend your child's SEP conference at their assigned time. Please be on time, I only have fifteen minutes for each conference and no breaks between conferences.

The book fair is going on during SEP conferences in the library.

Friday, February 13, we will have our class Valentine's party. We will exchange Valentine's if your child would like to. If they choose to exchange then they need to bring one for everyone in class. We have 28 students in our class. I sent home a class list on the back of this weeks newsletter. If you need another class list email me or send me a note and I will get you another one.

Monday, February 16, there is no school for President's Day.

January 20 - 23

I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend!

This week we will be working on blends and diagraphs, story problems, and start our science unit on water. Our word family for this week is the -ate family.

I will add a link so that you can order books for the book order on our blog. Ordering online is the best and safest way to order books.

Please sign up for sep conferences. I really hope I get to meet with each of you! SEP conferences will be held the 3, 4 of February.

Next Wednesday, 28 is our 100th day of school. Watch for more information to come home about this special day!

January 5 - 9

This week our word family is the -ay family. We will continue working on number sense, middle sounds, and long vowels. This week we are beginning our middle of the year reading assessment the DRA. This assessment will take the next two - two and a half weeks to complete. While I am testing I will not be doing reading groups.

Friday is the Trading post. If you could please total the reading minutes on the December calendar! Thanks for you help.

I tried to download the slide show that we played during our program but have been unsuccessful. (I really am not very good at some of the technical things). Sorry, I know I told some of you that I would try to put it up.

Thanks so much to all of the parents who helped us with our Christmas party. I think the students really enjoyed it. I just realized that I have a few pictures that I need to post from the party but my camera is dead. I will get the battery charged and post those pictures later.

I just wanted to send out our condolences to the Elwell family. I know many of the students in our class were friends with Shelbi.

I hope everyone had a great break! Welcome back.

Just an FYI I will have a sub on Thursday afternoon and Friday. If things are a little different those days that may be why.

Christmas Program

We had a great program last night! The students did a fabulous job! Here are a couple pictures from the program during school.
