Have a good weekend.

I am not at school today, however I do know what the kids are working
on! They will be sounding out words, measuring with cubes, and
reading a tooth fairy story. With their reader pals, they will be
writing their own tooth fairy stories and drawing a picture of the
tooth fairy. Talk again on Monday. March is almost here!

Have a good two days!

Today we worked on letter 'L' words and practiced writing sentences.
When we sentence write, we are sure to put an uppercase letter in the
front, a mark at the end, and spaces between our words. I will not be
here tomorrow, so I will not be posting. Have a great two days!

Back to School

Today we worked on sounding out words. We also discussed weight (what is
heavier or lighter) and discussed dental health. We had a dental
hygienist student come in today and discuss tooth brushing with the
kids. She had a pretty awesome dinosaur puppet with teeth that the kids
really liked. Have a great day!

Have a great weekend!

Today we met with reader pals and completed a USA packet. It was
interesting to hear what the kids would do if they were the president!
We also sounded out words and talked about volume (containers that fit
more or less). In the afternoon, we will be meeting with a student's
grandparents to learn how to make home made ice cream (the kids are very
excited about this!) It was so nice to have everyone at school today.
Have a safe weekend!

Today we worked on measuring with cubes and paper clips. We practiced
reading in our new take home book "Sam Sat" and completed some reading
assessment worksheets, which should be in your child's folder. This
afternoon, we will be talking about Presidents Lincoln and Washington.
Is it really Friday tomorrow?

Happy 100th Day!

We talked about the number 100 many times today. We counted to 100 by 1,
2, 5, and 10. We read 100 day stories and made 100 day glasses. We also
visited the computer lab and colored 100 day pictures. The kids had 100
seconds of playtime, but it turned out that they did not like that idea
as much as they thought!

Back to School

We had a lot of energy today, probably because of the weird day
yesterday. Despite the high level of energy, we still managed to get a
lot done. We practiced sounding out three-sound words and skip counting.
We also visited the library. I was very happy to see so many returned
books today. Drive safe!

Hello again!

I didn't Blog yesterday because I was gone, however I am back and on the
ball today! I understand that many children had a bit of a rough day
yesterday, so we discussed staying "Above the Line" with all teachers
and not just myself. I guess there was some teasing, throwing of toys,
and disrespectful words said. They did a much better job today and we
got a lot of work done. We read our new take home book, counted in math,
and made Valentine Bees to decorate our school. We also discussed our
country and its' symbols, namely the flag, Bald Eagle, and Statue of
Liberty. I can't believe tomorrow is already Friday!

Hello!

Today we worked on sounding out words. We also discussed even and odd
numbers. We talked about even numbers being numbers where every object
has a buddy. Odd numbers are numbers where one object is left over by
itself. We visited the library but only 1/2 of the class had their books
today. Tomorrow, we will begin our Valentine projects. Have a great
day!

10s. We also discussed Groundhog Day and visited the computer lab.
Remember, library day tomorrow. Have a good day!
