Assessment Week!

I can't believe we are coming to the end of the first trimester! I am so proud of the kiddos and all they have accomplished.  The kiddos will be staying an hour after class on their assigned day this week.  I want to see how much has changed since the first assessment.  Please send your kiddo with a lunch. 
I will share the results with you during our conferences.

*Parent/Teacher Conferences will be November 12-15th.  I will be sending home a letter on your assigned time.  If you cannot make that time please let me know and we can work something out!*

Our new word this week is "look."

Our Fall party will be on Friday, October 26.  Please let me know if you have any reservations about anything Halloween.

Have a great week!!!!

5 Senses!

This week is all about the body and our senses.

We will continue with all of the reading strategies that we have learned.

I sent home small assessments on reading and writing, and I was happy with the growth the kiddos are showing.  Please continue to work with your child at home with all of these skills.

Parent conferences will be coming up next month, and I will be sending home sign up sheets for that shortly.  I will also be reassessing the students on the computer based assessments that I did at the beginning of the year to see where the students are now. 

Our Fall party is scheduled for October 26th.  More information will be coming home shortly.

Thank you again for sharing your children with me!!  I love every moment!

Fire Safety!

Our theme this week is fire safety!  We began talking about it last week when Mr. Law came in and talked with the students about his experiences as a firefighter.  We will have another visit from a firefighter this week.  We will be talking about safety procedures so we can be prepared.

Our sight word this week is "like."

We will also be introducing a new reading strategy: look through the word for all sounds.

I am so very proud of what the students are accomplishing.  We have been discussing the leadership trait of "teamwork," and I am excited about what I see! Thanks again for all of your support and hard work. I am looking forward to another great week!

Fall!

Our theme this week is leaves.  We are also learning about fire safety, and we will have Alexander Law, a firefighter and Catie's dad, coming to our school on Wednesday to share some fire safety tips with our kiddos.  We started our reading groups today and will continue to work in them everyday.

Our new word this week is: or
We will also continue to work on our three reading strategies.

I have been stressing the leadership attribute of teamwork.  I want the kiddos to work together and be respectful of one another.  So far so good! :)

I have added photos of the kiddos making apple bread.  They were such wonderful chefs!

Have a great week!!!
