Week 3!

I am so proud of all the kiddos.  They are all starting to get use to being in school and have made great strides.  I hope you all enjoy a nice long weekend.

This week, we have two new words: "I" and "see."  We will continue to use the same reading strategy, make your finger match the words, and introduce a new strategy, look at the pictures.

I also sent home letters about assessments this week.  If the date and time you are assigned to does not work, let me know and I will see how we can work it out.

*PICTURE DAY IS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH.  I WILL BE SENDING A FLYER HOME TO REMIND YOU!

Week 2!

Our new sight word for the week is "can."  We will continue to go over "we" and the same reading strategy.  I will be sending home the homework folders this week.  Some kiddos will have practice sheets in their folders.  Take your time with these.  They do not have to be turned in right away; I just wanted to give some extra practice.  Feel free to duplicate these worksheets for further practice.  All students will have a "we" mix it and fix it flash card.  I hole punched these so that you can put them on rings and practice them throughout the year.  We will begin writing practice and spend more time in centers this week.

Great Night!

It was great to officially meet everyone tonight.  I look forward to working with all of you throughout the school year.  All parent helpers will be asked to sign a Megan's Law form that can be found on the ILCS website.  You can also ask Kelly at the front office if you can not find it.  It takes some time to process so I will probably start the helpers in a month.  Thank you again for coming this evening! I will talk to everyone soon!

First Day!

Today was our first day of school!  We learned a lot of new things and will continue to go over rules until we all know them really well.  Please continue to talk to your kiddos about how to act at school: Sit "criss cross apple sauce" on the rug and have "listening ears," have "walking feet" in the classroom and hallways, be respectful of others and class supplies, use restrooms and get drinks at recess so we can start cutting back on the amount used during class time.

*Back to school night is tomorrow at 5:30.  We will all meet in the sanctuary to hear Dr. Gordon talk about Inland Leaders.  We will then go back to the classroom to go over class protocol and sign up for parent helpers! PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANY STUDENTS!  I was told today that back to school night is for the parents ONLY!  I look forward to seeing you all there!!

Back to school!

We are just about to start our new year together, and I am very excited.  I posted our first sight word: "we" and our first reading strategy: "follow the words with your finger." Feel free to work on these things with your child so they will be extra prepared for school! :)

*Back to School Night is set for Tuesday, August 21 at 5:30.  We will be meeting in the church sanctuary and then be able to go into the classroom.  The school asks that you do not bring any siblings on this evening so we can focus on you and the student in my class.  I look forward to meeting all of you! Have a great weekend and see you soon!
