Let the sun shine!

It is Friday again and the kids decided to treat Mrs. Lembke by working
as hard as they could this morning! They sounded out words to read their
new take-home book "Sam and Matt". They also practiced counting money
and completed centers. This afternoon, the kids will be visiting the
gym, music room, and their reader pals. A dental hygienist came in this
morning and reviewed some good dental health habits. The kids were very
interested in hearing about the plaque bugs that grow in our mouths:)
Have a great weekend!

Today, the children worked on sounding out words and identifying the
"normal nickel". We call it this because it is not big like a quarter or
small like a dime. We also completed centers and a journal. This
afternoon, the children will be going to music, gym, and computer lab.
We will also discuss President's Day a bit further. Enjoy the sunny
day!

Successmaker in the computer lab, and we will start discussing
president's day. Have a great day!

Happy Valentine's Day...almost

The kids did a very good job of focusing thus far. It is hard on a fun
day to get all the work done before having a "party". The kids did a
great job! So far, we have completed our take-home book (Sam Sat),
colored heart puzzles in math, and sounded out some words. This
afternoon, we will have story, music and gym. We will then complete some
fun Valentine centers and exchange valentine cards. Have a fabulous
weekend!

I am Back:)

Today, the children took some reading assessments about vocabulary (they
will come home today, all did very well). They also practiced counting
by fives and completed centers. We visited tumblebooks.com to read some
fun stories before lunch. This afternoon, the children will either go to
music or outside gym (they are split for this) and we will hear some
information about the Olympics from the sixth grade. Have a great day!

children love). Talk to you again on Thursday:)
