Martin Luther King, Jr. Day ART

Week of January 13th - 17th

Here is what is happening this week:

Reading:             The decodable books are going to start getting a bit more difficult. Please be sure to read these each night. They review the sound/blend that was taught that day.  

Book Orders: DUE tomorrow – students receive a free bracelet when you order online!

Spelling:            The words are quite easy. They are High Frequency words and most likely we will work on the High Frequency words the rest of the year, as research shows that if students can spell the 300 HF words correctly, they can read 65% of any text. We haven't found something (spelling wise) that we like yet and that we feel is giving the kids what they need. I apologize for all of the changes with spelling. It is pretty much a review for a couple weeks and then it should pick up a bit.

Math:                We will test on Topic 7 on Tuesday and start Topic 8 on Wednesday. We will be NWEA Testing as well.

YPP: We met our class goal of 100 green dots after receiving 102 green dots last Thursday. We celebrated on Friday.

Science:              We will be learning how to sort and classify items over the next week or two.

Social Studies:    We will be learning about our community, school community and neighborhoods. The school uses a program called “Prevention Dimensions”, it is state-wide, that helps children recognize their feelings and emotions. It promotes friendship and boosts self-esteem. A paper will come home to explain what we have learned each time we have a lesson on this.

Thank you, and have a good week!

Spelling Lists Update

I know the words are quite easy. They are High Frequency words and most likely we will work on the High Frequency words the rest of the year, as research shows that if students can spell the 300 HF words correctly, they can read 65% of any text. We haven't found something (spelling wise) that we like yet and that we feel is giving the kids what they need. I apologize for all of the changes with spelling. It's a nightmare lol. It is pretty much a review for a couple weeks. I think Mrs. Utley is going to do some things to challenge those higher readers and spellers in her reading group. We will talk more about it as a team when we go to collaboration meeting tomorrow so I will have a better idea. Again, I am so sorry for the inconsistency.

Merry Christmas!!!

Week of December 16th - 20th

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Here is what is happening this week:

Reading: We are learning sounds and blends. Please review the class work with your child each night. 

Spelling: No spelling test this week. 

Math: We are in Topic 6 this week. We will finish it when we come back from Christmas Break. Please keep reviewing and returning homework each night.

YPP: Our class goal is to earn 100 “green dots” on YPP by February 15^th to receive a Cupcake Party. This week we have earned 86 green dots. These green dots can also go away, so the students know to keep trying their hardest each time they go to the computer lab. 

12 Days of Christmas:  Thank you to those who are helping with this fun activity. The kids are loving it! Thank you to those who helped with Polar Express Day as well!

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank you, and have a good week!

Hey, whatever works this time of year right before Christmas! They MIGHT make it :)

Week of December 9th - 13th

Book Orders due tomorrow, December 10^th. They should be here in time for Christmas.

Here is what is happening this week:

Reading:             We are learning sounds and blends. Please review the class work with your child each night. 

Spelling:            Our spelling lists are going to look a little different. We will still have the practice test on Thursday, and the real test on Friday. Those who get 100% on the practice test will not have to test on Friday. They will get to play games. List #28 is enclosed.

Math:                We have started Topic 6 this week. Please keep reviewing and returning homework each night.

YPP: Our class goal is to earn 100 “green dots” on YPP by February 15^th to receive a Cupcake Party. This week we have earned 87 green dots. These green dots can also go away, so the students know to keep trying their hardest each time they go to the computer lab. I will send a print out of each child’s YPP progress before Christmas break so that they can work on it over the break.

12 Days of Christmas:  Thank you to those who are helping with this fun activity. The kids are loving it!

This week is Polar Express week.  REMEMBER to send your child in pajamas on Friday. They may also bring a blanket, a pillow, and slippers. We will have a guest read The Polar Express, then watch the movie, lounge, and drink hot chocolate afterwards.

Thank you, and have a good week!
